Pam Connelly, 45, who lives in the area has raised concerned about the road and told the MEN that she saw a young man riding a bike and falling due to the damaged road.
Speaking to the MEN she said: “There was a group of boys in front of me on a bike, I saw one boy move to the side.
“The next boy that was behind him just came flying off his bike.
“The boy got back onto his bike and cycled off but you could see he was holding his harm so that’s why I decided to take a video and report it.
“When they left it, it was flat, but they’ve not done the work correctly because any traffic that drives over it has just pushed the tarmac up causing the hazard."
A spokesperson for Electricity North West said: “We’re sorry that this temporary repair to the road during some work on the underground electricity network in the area wasn’t up to the standards customers rightly expect.
"We have barriered off the area for safety and we will be back on site to make a full repair at the weekend when there will be less disruption to traffic.”
