observer Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 One could cut and paste (comments and photos) to the CEO, Councillors or even the TV stations - something I'm sure you could do much better than I ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 The amount of moans and calls I make they are more likely to find the biggest pothole they can.. then shove me in it.. and cover it over. Â Bet they'd get told to make a poper job of that one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Noticed an interesting phenomenon today - potholes in the road humps in Bruce Drv! Â Is this what happens when you drive at 20mph? You have time to look for potholes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well.. update on my last long update re the potholes and idiotic markings etc. Â In 6 days (as expected ) quite a few of the unmarked 'it doesnt fit the criteria for repair' potholes have now reached a depth to make them 'fit the critera' but as they are not currently marked for repair presumably they will need to be looked at again by an inspector now One is just over 4 inches deep already and getting wider too. Â The ones which were marked are almost unmarked now as the cheap paint spray has almost worn away so presumably the paint man will have to pop out again too:lol: Â I'm actually starting to see the funny side of it all now...

observer Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Spotted the "pot hole" wagon today, parked up in a residential street on a Council Estate - no sign of the crew though - must have gone for a brew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Maybe they had fallen into the potholes... did you not check Obs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Good news - the Gov is giving more money, to tackle the pot hole crisis. I think it's about ?100million, which scarsely compensates for the ?650million lost to the cuts; but at an estimated ?75 per hole it could give Councils a start. Problem is - should they be patching (jobs that won't last) or should they be resurfacing the whole road (which means some pot holes won't get done)?

observer Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well they were out today, patching the pot holes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 It's taking them long enough though.... I'm bored of taking photo's of them now but there is a huge one near the Stag Pub at Walton but hey I am not knocking the council as they have marked around it... they just haven't filled the damn thing in yet for some unknow reason. Â Maybe it is because it much deeper than the required 40mm depth and as such they are having to do a H&S assessment first for their workers and train them in the art of abseiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Think there were two or three blokes with the truck - do we only have this one crew for the whole Town? Could take a while then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) OOPS...
