Loads of potholes and cracks are now becoming visible round here. It was obvious 2 years or more ago that there was a lot of damaged road surface that would deteriorate catastrophically if not repaired. This was ignored by the local authorities and last winter the inevitable happened - potholes everywhere. In the spring our local repairers were told to give priority to patching the roads at the expense of everything else and managed to fill the major potholes. Most of the cracks were left and of course what happens this winter? Back to square one.
