Just a few days ago your work crews came out to 'repair' multiple pot holes. Just a few days later those repairs have completely failed as I knew they would. You people are taking us council tax payers for absolute mugs. You don't even bother to apply sealant around the edges of the repairs to stop water seeping in and washing the material out. This sort of nonsense is going on all over the county and people are sick of it and your pathetic excuses. The only reason our roads are in a parlous state is because of your utter failure to maintain our roads properly. There are no excuses you have failed in your duty to protect road users and keep our roads in tip top condition. We have now stopped paying our council tax until the roads are fixed. Get on with it for heaven sake.

This has been passed to the local area technician to investigate the enquiry/issue regarding a pothole/road surface.
During winter months we receive a very high number of reports regarding potholes or a poor road surface, it's easy to assume that potholes are formed due to roads being poorly maintained but that is not usually the case. There are many factors that can cause potholes, particularly during the winter months when water seeps in through cracks in the road surface, collecting underneath and when the water freezes, it expands and forces up the road surface in through cracks in the road surface.
Our priority is always the safety of road users, so in some cases during busy periods a permanent repair is not always possible immediately. However, temporary repairs are a way to ensure the area is safe until such times as we can return to make a permanent repair.
