Locals demand action over ‘most potholed road in Europe’

It is only 1.2km long, but residents claim their road is the most potholed in Europe.

Furious locals mounted a protest on the L92501 outside the East Cork town of Midleton yesterday at the condition of the rural cul-de-sac on which 22 families live.

Spokesman John Joe Joyce said there were about 50 bad potholes on the road, which runs through the townlands of Carrigshane and Castleredmond, and that taxi drivers now refused to travel on it for fear of damaging their cars.
