Pothole repairs!

(1/4) > >>

Alsatian:
DCC have been round repairing potholes these last few days, I say rapir in the loosest of terms as already they're disintegrating!
The liquid tar they use to seal the repair to the original road surface is breaking up and lifting. The rest of the repairs are simply breaking up and leaving stones on top of the surfaces.

What a waste of time and resources that has been, yes it may be due to the weather, but surely they knew it was going to be this cold?

They cannot be expected to do a permanent repair....they need to keep their jobs. They will be back next year to do it again....!

During the Summer I was being given a lift home and we went down a particular road in Chesterfield and we were bouncing in and out of potholes.
My mate said " When are they going to do something about these holes in the road, what do we pay our road tax for it's a disgrace."

You probably won't be surprised to learn that this was in the Summer........... of 1967!!!
I've not been down that road in a long time so can't comment on it's status today, but I would imagine it won't be in pristine condition.
Some things never change.

Sorastro:
I'm a regular user of Hagg hill {Grassmoor to Tupton} and I've never seen so many pot holes on one stretch of road for ages.
It's like whacky races watching people dodge the holes. I was heading to Grassmoor last week, when there was still water on the road, and I didn't see this particular pothole just over the bridge, it's a good job I was slowed down by a learner driver in front, I checked the tyre when I got home and luckily no {visible} damage.

It comes to something when councils would sooner pay out compensation than fix the roads, obviously it's cheaper.

In our cul de sac, just 4 dwellings, DCC have been out on at least 3 occasions to replace fractured kerbstones, and some dimples in the road. NOT at any of the residents requests...I must add..
