Residents have been left in the dark as to why some potholes have been filled in a street while others have been left alone.
Flatt Road has not been so flat recently as took place in the street, next to Kelburn Primary and Largs Academy, after a string of complaints but only part of the repairs have been completed.
The matter was raised during the recent Largs Community Council meeting at Largs Library.
Secretary Val Lundie highlighted the problem following a presentation by Ros Fallon, of Streetscene council grounds and maintenance department,.
Val said: "Three times I have reported potholes in Flatt Road. I actually went out and measured one of the potholes which was four foot wide by two, and it was at least five or six inches deep. It has since been repaired now but why have only five out of eight potholes been repaired on the street?"
Ros Fallon said that there had been a great increase in the number of potholes because of the severe winter weather, with a constant change between rain, freezing, and thawing, resulting in the problem which has been nationwide. 
Ros said: "It has been this cycle leading to the thaw which has resulted in the potholes. We have liaised with Transport Scotland and have liaised with other national agencies and the official reason is the severe weather which we have experienced. It has been a tumultuous period. The patching is only temporary and we have employed two contractors to carry out the works."
Community councillor Drew Cochrane pointed out that it has been reported in The Herald newspaper that £43m less had been spent by roads and local council authorities on the pothole problem.
In terms of gritting, with North Ayrshire Council carrying out gritting in local roads, while Transerv carry out gritting on trunk roads.
Ros said: " Flash rain can sweep the salt away from the road and the protocol is for the police to close the road until a gritter can be brought in schedule."
Chairman Douglas Blair pointed out: "By not gritting the high roads in Largs, if there was an emergency it would be an issue. I have seen gritting at the bottom end down by the sea but I do find that the gritting aspect is dangerous as the chances of people getting hurt is quite considerable if the area is not gritted. You wonder about elderly people who are not capable of gritting. I live in the highest part of Largs, and once Brisbane Primary is away to the new Campus, we will lose that as a primary route and what then will happen?"
Some residents said that they remembered local council workers in the past did grit the higher areas of Largs as the two trucks were based in the town.
Ros pointed out that times have changed, but urged people to contact them with any areas of concern that they have in terms of potholes.
Streetscene were asked at the meeting about grit bins such as Stakehill be re-positioned instead of being at the top of the hill and be moved to a more reasonable position in the street in terms of access.
