    How can this repair be safe this is appalling workmanship/workwomenship. Not only is this a trip hazard for pedestrians, but could cause damage to a vehicle. Who ever repaired this road doesn't deserve to be paid. This is shocking and hopefully no one gets hurt by this awful work.

  • Utterly remarkable. This is now the second time that this repair has been attempted.

    The first one failed after a week or two. The second failed literally one day afterward.

    This morning the rain was bubbling up from underneath the pavement.

    Once again a substandard fix has been applied resulting in a dangerous trip hazard for pedestrians.

    Totally unacceptable.

    This fault was reported over 2 months ago. The condition is deteriorating and the hole now represents a serious safety hazard. It is over 6 inches deep and continues to enlarge. The path is used by families with small children, the elderly and infirmary. Please deal with this before a serious injury occurs.
