I have saw 2 extremely minor patchup repairs that were recently made. Right next to sunken and broken tarmac which is clearly damaged and in need of repair!! which is an insult to us road users who pay yearly rates to drive on these terrible conditioned roads.
We are at a disgraceful point now where our local councils and general governments are now only temporarily repairing o lying What's reported regardless of surrounding damage. We should be now only paying ved specifically for it's original intended purposes and with old paying until all of Daventry is resurfaced!!! Northamptonshire council is an absolute disgrace

West Northamptonshire Council is committed to maintaining safe and reliable roads, but it isn’t possible to repair every pothole immediately. The council must prioritise repairs based on available budget, workforce capacity, and the need to address the most safety critical defects first. All decisions are guided by the Highway Inspection Manual, which sets out how road defects are assessed and the timescales for repair. This ensures that resources are used responsibly and that the highest risk issues, such as those posing a danger to road users, are dealt with as quickly as possible while lower risk defects are scheduled appropriately within the limits of available funding.
