A highways officer has visited a road in Astbury that has several potholes and the defects identified that require intervention work have been programmed for repair.
A resident contacted Nub News to highlight the "poor condition" Mow Lane, Astbury, was in and the potential damage the defects could have on vehicles.
The resident hoped it would prompt action from Cheshire East Council.
Cllr Laura Crane, Cheshire East Council cabinet member for highways and waste, said: "The current weather pattern of freezing temperatures and frosts mixed with heavy rain does, unfortunately, impact on road surfaces.
"We are experiencing an above-average number of road defects caused by the combination of freezing sub-surface water, salt and thaws – the perfect recipe for potholes to form.
"Cheshire East is not alone with this challenge and we are prioritising, as quickly as possible, our schedule of works to tackle this additional work.
"All reported potholes and road defects continue to be assessed, along with regular scheduled inspections."
Cllr Crane added: "A highways officer has visited Mow Lane and the defects identified that require intervention work have been programmed for repair."
