It never ceases to amaze me how the council can find the cash for tarmac to make a speed bump but can't find the cash for tarmac to fill in a pothole

round here they're just pouring tar into the cavity, quick roll over with a hand roller and on to the next one. no prep, no pitch and no fecking use. 1st lorry and the plug pops out and the jobs undone. waste of time/money/tar.

Same here Grumpy, they don't cut the hole out or seal it when they've added the new tarmac, a few days of rain then frosts will see it open up even deeper. |

Same here. Shovel full of tar and a smack down with the shovel. Most of last year's repairs have come out again, along with a good size crop of new ones. What we are seeing is the result of years of under investment. |

Worst culprits are buses. Just have a look at bus stops and bus lanes and see the craters that are there. But buses are the council's green pals so you won't hear any criticism about them. |

youd think by now someone would have come up with a fast pothole fixer, a big drill on a jib, bore a hole out, tar, full/roll, instead we have 4 council vans, a dozen men, traffic lights, hold ups for a week while they fill a few small holes |
