Report, Re-report, Paint and Re-paint


Further to my blog post of 25 March and 29 March, look at the photos above of the potholes on the corner of Newlands Drive in Grove, which illustrate the sorry state of the whole pothole repair system.

The first picture on the left was taken on 21 February where you can see that the nearest pothole was painted in white. If you now look at the middle picture taken on 30 March, you can see that the white paint has now virtually disappeared with no repair having taken place!

In the meantime, the second pothole has only just been given a dose of red/orange paint, even though I reported both potholes as far back as 22 February! As I have said all along, it is not the reporting system which is at fault (although we are thankful for any improvements), but it is the slow system of repair. In the meantime, residents have to risk their cars every day travelling these roads.

I am sure we all sick and tired of the pothole situation around Wantage, Grove and the whole of Oxfordshire.
