With crumbling pavements and potholes galore Hallas Grove may be Huddersfield’s most neglected street.
And residents of the Dalton cul-de-sac have threatened to stop paying their council tax until it is repaired.
According to neighbours the street has been left to decay for 20 years.
The surfaces of the road and pavements have begun to disintegrate while kerb stones are starting to crumble.
Keith Wise says he has been asking Kirklees Council to fix the street since he moved there eight years ago.
But Mr Wise says he has had no success except for some piecemeal filling of potholes which have since reappeared.
Mr Wise, 66, said: “It’s been like that for at least eight years and it’s thought to have been like that for 20 years.
“They keep saying they will come with a spray can but it gets to winter and it’s in a worse state than it was before.
“It must be the worst residential road in Huddersfield.”
Mr Wise says he has consulted neighbours about withholding their council tax until the street is fixed.
He said: “The council don’t seem to be bothered about it – but now it’s time they should.
“I’ve told them I’m not paying my council tax until they do something about it.
“It shouldn’t have to be this way.
“I’ve been to remote parts of Scotland where the roads are in better condition than this.”
A council spokesperson said: “We undertake an extensive programme of maintenance work on Kirklees’ roads and pavements to ensure safety, and to keep people and goods moving.
“All roads and pavements in Kirklees are inspected by trained highway engineers regularly to make sure they are safe for everyone, and to identify any defects that need to be repaired if they do pose a danger to the public.
“Our limited budget is distributed throughout our entire road network, and with all the different types of work we do, we cannot always do all the work residents may wish.
“Our strategy, with the current limited funding available to us, is to resurface priority routes, which are the well-used local roads linking residential areas to main road network, and rural villages and hamlets together, or are essential for business and commerce.”
