<p>The millions who motor to Blackpool for their holidays are having to contend with some of the worst road conditions in the UK, an AA survey shows.</p>
<p>The Lancashire resort &#8211; along with Oldham in Greater Manchester and Dartford in Kent &#8211; was judged to have streets in the poorest state.</p>
<p>In contrast, the best streets, in categories including potholes, pavements, road markings and cleanliness, were in Taunton in Somerset, Ipswich and the Berwick and Borders region of Scotland.</p>
<p>The street survey was carried out by 1,912 AA members this autumn. They recorded the frequency of 12 categories of street blight within two miles of their homes.</p>
<p>These covered potholes, road repairs, damaged kerbs, inspection covers, road works, uneven payments, blocked drains, badly parked vehicles, litter, dog mess, bad signs and worn road markings. The survey showed:</p>
<p>:: London streets had the fewest potholes and patches while the worst pothole areas were Kilmarnock in Scotland, the Fylde coast of Lancashire (which includes Blackpool) and Telford in Shropshire;</p>
<p>:: Berwick &#038; Borders was the cleanest area, making the top three for both litter and dog fouling; The worst streets for litter and dog fouling were in Liverpool and Paisley in Scotland;</p>
<p>:: The most serious problem was considered to be potholes, while the most reported &#8220;bad street item&#8221; was litter;</p>
<p>:: Overall, Welsh streets were the best and north-east England ones were the worst;</p>
<p>:: Northern Ireland streets were the worst for kerbs, roadworks, road signs, road markings and dog mess; But Northern Ireland had the least problem with potholes and the best pavements and paths.</p>
