Our local authorities should be congratulated

Aww, they left a smiley face!!

 

Clearly, someone is telling porkies ... send another email (Then contact Watchdog!)

 

After a lot of moaning amongst ourselves, a neighbour took on the job of contacting the County Council to complain about the 20 or so potholes in our street. Eventually 2 trucks, laden with materials andctowing plant turned up with a crew of 4 workers and we thought that they were finally going to sort them out.

They took half a day to fix the pothole outside the house person who complained then drove off, and some 6 months later have never returned .


(To be continued .....)

 

Credit where credit is dew

I must be honset the times that i've reported things they've come out and repaired them asap and i've always rang back and thank them, i think if more people done this it may help things to get done so credit where credit is dew, we all like to be thanked when we've done things right,

 

Our council employ private contractors, they are very quick,they locate water filled pothole , drop in shovel full of tarmac , hit with back of shovel, drive off, total time taken 1 minute.

 

Contd. from post #4 .......

The County Council came back a few weeks ago whilst we were out shopping for a couple of hours with less operatives, 'finished' the entire street in record time and were leaving as we returned. I'm going to ask them to let me know when they return to complete the works so I can invite 'Rogue Traders' to come and film them in action:

1) They laid the tarmac on top of debris in the gutter, mud started squirting through this patch after the first vehicle drove over it.
2) Edge of patch showing they couldn't be bothered to scrape out the gutter, let alone cut out the defective surfacing.
3) I think this one speaks for itself!
4) Junction between 'reinstatement' and remainder of pothole, I guess the got fed up filling it before even half way along it.




They ignored about 60% of the potholes, here's a small selection:

 

No potholes here!! It used to be dreadful in Surrey where I used to live, the roads were always breaking up. Also a week ago my wheelie bin broke, I telephoned the Council, and the very next day my broken one was taken away and replaced with a shiny brand new one!!

 

There is a GREAT big hole in the road by where I live.. Council workmen are looking into it .......
