'It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it!' Just how many times does a pothole inspector or a road repair contractor drive over a pothole without getting out to repair it?
The biggest bugbear for residents is that they see tar being dropped into a hole and within a day or so, it comes out again. Is that value for money?
Dorset Council have adopted a new stance.
They say 'Allow our inspectors to fix the repairs they find'
They say 'Allow our inspectors to fix the repairs they find'
'Rather than mark up a pothole for repair later-on by a works gang, we are changing our work practices to allow our inspectors to make repairs on the spot. This may not be possible in every case, but will speed up the time taken to fix many potholes and reduce the amount of administration.'
This proactive approach was one of my initiatives which was rejected by the Conservative administration!
