Council Policy for repairing potholes - 'Give us a clue'!

Ok, the clue is a Pizza Box, by means of an illustration! The measurement inspectors use for repairing a pothole is around 300 x 300 x 50, which is pretty close to the size of a Pizza Box. This means as many residents point out to me, that anything smaller and close by, that will inevitably get larger very soon, will be ignored at the time!

This is one I made earlier!

                               

Council Policy!

So they fix two potholes the size of a Pizza Box and leave the others!

But this morning more yellow markings arrived to repair more Pizza Box size potholes!



Residents are still wondering why the smaller surrounding potholes are not repaired at the same time as the Pizza Box size ones, as they are equally dangerous and can also cause expensive damage to your car or cycle. Why not repair the whole section in one go? 'Do if right first time' as the government guidance tells us!

But in respect of Tull Way, featured above, a highways department source told me 'this section will be prioritised along with other similar sections of road across the district for possible inclusion in this year's emerging machine patching programme'.
