I blame shoddy workmanship on the repairs. I've had a look at some of the larger potholes in the area, and the tarmac patches are just delaminating from the road under.
There seems to be no care taken to bond the layers, just dump a bit of tarmac in the hole and run a compactor over. The old practice of using molten tar around the edges to seal the patch in seems to have died out as well.
Perhaps a guarantee should be in place with appropriate fines for rapid failure of said patches?
