The Welsh Assembly wants to know about local potholes

A photography competition on the subject of Welsh roads has been launched by a National Assembly committee.

The Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee is asking people to send images as part of its inquiry into the state of roads in Wales.

The shortlisted entries will be part of an exhibition at the National Assembly for Wales and the winning image will also feature on the cover of the Committee’s report.

“There are some beautiful roads in Wales, busy roads and pretty awful roads too,” said Russell George AM, Chair of the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee.

“We’re looking for entries which sum up people’s views and opinions of the Welsh road network.

“So whether it’s pictures of potholes, vistas of valley passes or snapshots of urban streets, we want to consider them as part of our inquiry as we compose a detailed image of what state Welsh highways and byways are in.”

Colwyn Bay and Conwy Borough are not immune from the effects of potholes especially on hilly roads and in areas with much surface water.

More information about the inquiry and the photo competition can be found on the Committee’s web pages.

 

The closing date for entries is Friday 13 July.
