If you want to see potholes at their worst just go round the Arkwright roundabout on the way to Bolsover it's beyond a joke.

Came back home that way yesterday, council on the r/about looks like they are going to do something {but what?..watch this space!}
I am not a pessimist, I just help them out when they're busy.

Arkwright r/abt has been completely re surfaced, and very nice too... only trouble is it shows the rest of the road up.

We have had some filled in our village, unsure how long they will last ?
I put two in last month and they were filled pretty quickly, maybe just coincidence that they were in our area but I'm still pleased they were done.

Saw on the news the other day about one council is sending out a car to drive the streets finding and photographing potholes in the area in order to make a log.
This upgraded "dash cam" they are using apparently detects the pothole and puts a red square round it on the picture and sends the picture back to base.

Once again money down the drain, the people of that area have inundated the council with sites of these potholes for ages now and now they are spending a lot of time {and money} on this latest gimmick.

It appears that these people at the council obviously either:-
 drive to work with their eyes shut..... know where the pot holes are but daren't say anything....don't mention the roads 'cos it's not their department, or all three.

Haha have you been looking at my Cllr page. :))
Yesterday I went round our village doing this job.
Unsure what other Cllrs do in their area.
I've put a list through for repair and phoned in two others where water was an issue.
I always thought it went with the job.
Monies tight enough for councils as it is.

All they need to do is look at their records ffom last year, and go out and mend them again....
