Residents of a Kinross-shire village have been told there is no money to fix their bumpy main road, it has been claimed.
Crook of Devon locals say they struggle to sleep whenever lorries travel along the A977 from Kinross to Clackmannanshire because large dips have formed in the surface.
They say that when the heavy vehicles hit the depressions it “sounds like thunder”.
Ian Roberson, who lives on the route, said: “The main road in Crook of Devon is in a horrendous state.
“It’s got to the stage where when lorries come through the village it’s like thunder and people can’t get to sleep.”
Another resident, who did not want to be named, said: “There’s major bumps in the road and you can hear when something goes across them.
“I’ve complained to the roads department about the potholes and they said there’s no money left to fix it and we’ll have to wait.”
Councillor Dave Cuthbert has inspected the road and said the problem appeared to lie with several dips in the surface.
He said: “The A977 is a very heavily used road, especially by large vehicles, and I have to say that it is a pity that it was de-trunked a few years ago.
“I have asked the roads department to investigate the complaints.”
A council spokeswoman said the local authority would look at making temporary repairs.
“While there is no work identified in the programme for this financial year, the council have committed to looking at the two tracks across the road with a view to organising some patch repairs,” she said.
“In assessing the works programme for the next financial year, this section of road will be considered alongside all others in need of resurfacing and prioritised accordingly.”
The A977 has been the subject of road safety concerns in recent years.
A Speed Watch scheme was introduced for the first time in January following an increasingly heavy volume of traffic, including hundreds of lorries each week, on the route.
There have been a number of accidents and at least one fatality.
