It comes as a new report shows that Yorkshire's road repairs backlog stands at £943.6 million - the estimated one-time cost to get the region's roads back into reasonable condition.

The latest data provided to the T&A by Bradford Council shows that more than 100 reports have been made over the past three years, complaining about potholes on just three roads.

Holme House Lane in Laycock near Keighley was the most complained about road, with 41 reports; Allerton Lane in Allerton, had 38 reports, and there were 29 complaints about New Line in Greengates.

Others that received a high level of complaints were Thornton Road in Thornton (26), Toller Lane in Heaton (23), Nab Water Lane in Oxenhope (23), Harden Lane in Wilsden (23), Rooley Lane in Bradford (22), Fleet Lane in Queensbury (22), and Bolton Road in Addingham (21).

The data, released under Freedom of Information rules, shows that in total there were 1,314 reports of potholes across the district in 2015, with a massive leap to 2,016 reports in 2016, before falling again to 1,005 in 2017.

In addition the data reveals that more complaints were received each year in February and March - as freezing conditions over the winter period can lead to road surface cracks and subsequent potholes.

Further information provided by the authority highlights that 55 miles of the 1,115 miles of B and C roads the Council is responsible for needed minor repairs in 2016/17 - around 5 per cent.

Meanwhile 3 per cent of A roads, three out of the 95 miles the authority is responsible for, required minor repairs the same year.

Both these were lower than the national average.

An annual survey of local councils by the Asphalt Industry Alliance has also revealed today that one in five local roads is in a poor condition nationally as councils face a huge funding deficit to tackle potholes.

They found that some 20 per cent of carriageways in England and Wales have less than five years of life remaining before they become unusable. This represents more than 40,000 miles of carriageways.

Spending on roads maintenance is "way short" of the amount needed, the annual study by the AIA adds.

The report found the gap between the amount local authorities in England and Wales received to keep carriageways in "reasonable order" and what they actually needed was £556 million in 2017/18.

AIA chairman Rick Green warned that the deterioration of local roads "continues to accelerate" because maintenance funding has "fallen short for so many years".

He accepted that the Government does not have a "bottomless pot of money" but called on it to "provide adequate funding for a well maintained and safe local road network".

Martin Tett, the Local Government Association's transport spokesman, said the amount of money spent on local roads is "miles behind" what is allocated to motorways and major A-roads.

He added: "Very few journeys begin and end on a motorway or trunk road yet government funding on the strategic road network is 52 times higher than for local roads."

Motoring groups claimed the AIA report shows a new approach is needed to combat potholes.

RAC head of roads policy Nicholas Lyes called on the Government to provide councils with "the certainty of reliable long-term funding" so they can finally bring every road up to a standard road users think is acceptable.

Councils filled 1.5 million potholes in the past year, continuing the recent downward trend from a high of 2.7 million in 2015.
