IT used to be the worst road in Huddersfield.

But this week Kirklees Council unveiled the newly restored Longwood Road.

Motorist Kevin Burns, 68, contacted the Examiner last June to say he had counted 36 potholes on a 100-yard stretch of the road.

Council workers began repairing the road between Longwood and Paddock three months later.

The resurfacing was part of a wider £700,000 improvement of Lowergate, Paddock roundabout, Church Street and Market Street.
