  • I was riding my bike last night in the dark and nearly came off it because I went over this pot hole. This pot hole is now dangerous to both motorbike and bike riders and needs filling in (properly) ASAP. I think it has been filled in previously but as per around 50% of your repairs, not very well.

  • This pot hole caused me to get a puncture in my tyre yesterday, it is not good enough for a repair in the next two months, it’s extremely dangerous!! I need to claim to get reimbursed for a damaged tyre which I’m sure you will deny.
