A BARROW driving instructor has hit out at the state of the area's roads.

Tim Clark, of Tim Clark Driver Training, took to social media to voice his concerns over the condition of Barrow's roads.

Mr Clark said he has never seen so many potholes in Furness since starting as a driving instructor 26 years.

He said: "The state of our roads locally is a joke and it’s getting worse every day, I've had to submit damage claims for pothole damage to wheels and tyres in the past and looks like it won’t be long before more claims go in.

"I’ve never seen as many potholes and damage since I started as an instructor 26 years ago.

"For those that sustain damage it’s fairly easy to claim but remember to take date-stamped photos as once damage is reported, the potholes seem to get filled in very quickly."

"I would encourage anyone who sustains damage to get a claim in straight away."
