  • This pothole is still there despite it being logged as a category 4 response (typically 28 days). By my calculations it is now 125 days since it was first reported. Admittedly, this is still within your stated 26 week deadline (17 weeks) but come on now, surely it doesn't take this long to organise 3 guys and a lorry full of tools and tarmac to turn up, sling some stuff in the hole and flatten it to within an inch of it's life? I don't know why I'm surprised at this, priorities seem very skewed as recently the council spent thousands on a new year's day firework display that thundered on for nearly 20 minutes. That's where the money goes, it would seem?
