The committee says there are around 60 potholes on the carnival's walking route.

The committee behind Shifnal Carnival has declared a "pothole emergency", after finding dozens of faults in the road on its walking route.

The carnival, on 29 June, is the biggest weekend in the town's calendar of events, and includes a fun fair, live entertainment and a 1.9 mile walking procession. However, on the route check, around 60 potholes were found, and the committee urged people on social media to report them. Shropshire Council said: "We are aware of the requests to repair the defects on the route of the Shifnal Carnival and we’re working with our contractors to undertake repairs in readiness for the procession."More than 130 people are due to walk the route, which begins on Admiral's Close, travels through the town, and finishes at Aston Street car park.
