Many thanks to all those who have reported potholes to me. The damage that is being done to cars is of great concern and I just hope that the county council realises the seriousness of this issue for local residents. This website claims that as many as 1 in 5 mechanical failures on British roads are due to potholes! Locally, reporting potholes has never really been the issue - we have all seen the painted markings wear away. It is the time it takes to actually make the repairs. Shown below is the latest status of the pothole near to the Bay Tree in Grove:
I reported it on Monday this week (25 March - see blog post below) and the red markings appeared yesterday (Thursday 29 March). We will now see how long it actually takes to repair!

I also chased up the potholes I reported on 22nd February on the corner of Newlands Drive, which are still awaiting repair (again see photos on blog post 25 March below). I was told that there are many potholes that are going over the 28 days time limit and that the contractors are aware of large numbers of defects that have not been repaired on time and will attend to them as soon as possible.
