WITH the fire-break lockdown in Wales coming to an end tomorrow, many of us will be out on the roads more than we have been for the past 17 days.
With that in mind, we've collated a list of the worst offending roads in Newport and the surrounding area for potholes - as listed on fixmystreet.com
Cardiff Road – near the old Argus offices
This reporter can, from experience, vouch for the changeable conditions of this stretch of road.
A commenters on fixmystreet said: "There is a stretch of tarmac across this road just the other side of bridge that has arisen and made a bump when driving, looks like either the road is coming up or they have failed to level the road after digging it up. "Will need levelling with the rest of the road, otherwise will be dangerous.
"Looks like a pipe work repair across this road."
