Another example of how cash strapped councils waste money

[Notch7]

Lack of funding you mean no accountability the amount of times you see the same pot holes forming again within weeks and getting repaired again and again and paid for is a joke

obviously you live in a rich area, we dont even get them repaired badly the first time

It might be common, I don't know. Our council has done an awful lot of complete resurfacing around our way and it is noticeable the difference it has made. I still don't think they are all useless.

Resurfacing in what way , chippings doesn't fix a pot hole .

Nope live in a bankrupt council area

Resurfacing in what way

The expensive way. Plane off old surface then two layers of new including new gulleys and toby covers.

I would guess Sussex is a rich area, but the state of the roads is truly shocking, I routinely have to stop the car to avoid driving into a pothole when theres something coming the other way.

I wouldnt want to be driving at night, there would be zero chance of seeing them

Is that where Vinnie Jones has just bought a farm ?

That’s only because you’ve worked for a council or still do.

Nope, served my time with a Council many years ago. Haven't been with one since.

Ok. All councils are sh!t and everything they do is sh!t, that better?

 

[denso13]

You HAVE worked for a council!

My mistake. I served my time with a council a long time ago and don't work for one now.

It must have been a decent council at the time, you come across like it was

Not particularly. It hasn't existed since 1996.

Bankrupt ?

Bankrupt ?

Nope, country wide change, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Government_etc._(Scotland)_Act_1994

Well it was Thatcher's Britain and I didn't have a lot of choice in a deprived area. I'll try harder next time, sorry.
