Jamie Cavanan, 30, set up Potholes In and Around Glasgow last April and the group has since accumulated more than 5400 members who post pictures of potholes around the city.

He said: "The roads are in a complete state of disrepair. And it definitely seems to be getting worse. I think it’s total negligence.

"I get that there is a lack of money, I get that the council is busy, but it’s an important thing. People are driving on the roads and emergency services are using it, it’s not safe.

“Even when you report them, the council comes back to you and says those potholes are not dangerous, but they are.

“There may only be dangers if you are driving at night and it might just burst your tires but a lot of people are just scraping by, the last thing they need is an extra expense because Glasgow City Council has failed to keep the road to a certain standard.”

We previously reported that lorry driver, from Shettleston, created the community after hitting a pothole in Renfrewshire and failed to claim compensation.

After overwhelming feedback and thousands of users joining the platform, the work was getting too much for one man to handle.

He recruited a team of five recently and divided the city into smaller parts for each admin to oversee.

Based on the numbers, Mr Cavanan said the East End of the city has the most potholes, but the problem is everywhere. Glasgow City Council, however, revealed they are currently trailing technology to tackle the issue in the East End. This involves using a new piece of plant machinery that quickly removes small areas of defective road surface prior to new asphalt being laid.

He added: ”The council doesn’t seem to be taking the action that is needed.

“The longer they leave it, the worse it is getting for everybody.

“All these wee temporary repairs, they are good for a short time but then the problem comes back again, it is Glasgow after all and the roads are busy.”

When asked about the worst sinkhole he has come across in the online community, he explained that to him, they are all equally troubling because holes on the roads should not exist.

Another member of the group said: "I'd say it is the one on Paisley Road, opposite The Quay at the bus stop. It's massive."

A third person person wrote: "The junction of Nitshill Road and Kennishead Road, by far! Completely unavoidable. The entire junction looks like it’s been hit by missiles."

A Glasgow City Council spokesperson said: “Our risk-assessed approach to road maintenance prioritises rapid repairs for the most dangerous faults but also seeks to ensure that any repairs are durable and completed at the first time of asking.

“This approach is based upon guidance from the Society of Chief Officers of Transportation in Scotland that is followed by local authorities nationally.

“Our roads inspectors undertake their own proactive checks of the city’s road surface but also respond to reports from the public, which allows faults to be properly assessed and appropriately included in our repair programme.

“Potholes can appear at any time but environmental factors such as frost, snow and rain will have a significant impact on condition of the city’s roads.

“Investment in repairs will vary in line with the number of reports that are received.

“However, the restrictions established in response to the covid pandemic, including the initial instruction for people to remain at home for several months, did affect our maintenance work.

“But over 12,000 of the most serious road defects have been repaired over the course of the past two years with countless other faults addressed through our on-going resurfacing programme.

“As part of our maintenance work, we have been trialling a new piece of plant machinery in the east of the city that quickly removes small areas of defective road surface prior to new asphalt being laid.

“This method has allowed us to increase the volume of first time permanent repairs being undertaken over the course of the trial.

“We always urge members of the public to report issues directly to the council, either through our website, the My Glasgow phone app or the @MyGlasgow social media account.”
