A bumpy ride

The first time we took the road from Orihuela to Hurchillo, I thought we had stepped back into an earlier era. In the centre of a town there is something historic about a paved road, it adds character but on a commuter route that links a city with a town it is a nightmare.

The stretch of road, which dates from the fifties,  might be only four miles long but it feels like fifty as you bump along it trying to avoid the potholes. It cannot be good for the suspension on the cars that travel along it each day.

There have been numerous promises to sort it but they have never been fulfilled. Now, the Green Party have promised to fix it if they are elected.
