:cool:
Anyone else noticed this? Loads of roads in the Bexley and Bromley council are all getting resurfaced, including my road which is big and long and full of potholes. Absolutely knackering the cars, every bush on my car has suffered and are all knackered as a result.
But driving up my road today and they've surfaced the bottom end, so nice. :cool:
Anyone else noticed the councils finally getting on it? We've had a pothole that would ground out a stock height MK3 since before christmas and it's finally gone. :cool:

I read this imagining a 2 year old had written it.
-
there's a big groove in the road in burbage, didn't realise how bad it dipped and it smacked on my sump and tow eyes
-
My road was entirely resurfaced after I complained of the ineptitude of the workers patching up the holes/scars. The repair would literally last for 3 days, then they'd come back and do it all over again.
Now its all shiny smooth bitumen.

IMO this is the problem.
Plus have you noticed that they build the repair up really high, maybe to last longer when they wear/sink?
So you go from a hole to an equally as high bump? lol.

Noticed this, the amount of groves in the middle of the road where the lines are in insane. Car proper follows them like it's on a track as well.

Fair bit of work going on around devon/somerset recently, trouble is then all the shed draggers come down, crash and ruin it all again.

The roads round here were seriously bad after winter. There is now a massive resurfacing programme going on, so some parts are nice and new, but its takes them so fecking long, and when they take the old tarmac up, they leave it for about a fortnight, so all the raised drains and access hatches are massively raised, and cause even more damage than the potholes did in the first place! Getting there slowly but the roads are jam packed at all hours and are in a even worse state than they were in the beginning. :angry:

Fair one! :grin: Its only single lane getting out of the city centre is all, and half of that is being done at a time so traffic lights for 1 lane for 2 directions of traffic, its a fecking nightmare! I get pissed off with people leaving car length gaps in the traffic tbf so when it comes to jams, I start turning green and get all angry and hulk like! :angry: :grin:
