There was a lot of discussion at the Local Highways Panel last week about the frequency and quality potholes – even though the panel is not supposed to touch maintenance issues.
Chris Black took the opportunity to mention the big pothole at the junction of Mortimer Road and Eastview Drive, that Bruce Smart had reported it in January, and that the Smart household would be baking a cake to celebrate its first birthday. This caused people there to pay attention, and hopefully we will have a cake to celebrate the repair, rather than the birthday.
In the meantime, the following roads in? Downhall and Rawreth Ward are on the list for thorough repairing:
Bedloes Avenue
Deepdene Avenue
Hambro Parade
Kings Farm
Manns Way
Bruce, will the cake be made from Shoe Pastry…….
If I bake it then the certainty is it will taste like shoe. But general point is we report faults and nothing happens unless we really badger people. It is really frustrating that after nearly 9 months all we have to show is a purple line around the hole.
