[Brighton] Potholes

[Gabbafella]

The country lane on which my work is on, every time there's heavy rain it washes away the papier mache the council used to fill it last time.
It's early hours and dark when I drive to work so now I have to try and figure out where all the holes are appearing again so I don't ruin my car by driving into a crevasse.

It could bring the government down.

One of our many national embarrassments. (I bet Rwanda has lovely smooth roads)

In the unlikely event of a small cold snap I'm pretty sure all the tarmac in my village roads and on my commute will lift straight off the base layer.


Last month a contractor has laid a fibre cable the entire length of the road snaking through the village.
In doing so they've tarmaced over their trench, so now there is literally - and I literally mean literally - a foot wide smooth corridor of road next to and in some cases even going through potholes the residents of Ukraine would be saying 'come on now'.

 

[Questions]

There are loads of potholing enthusiasts out there who could do the job ?

It's a good job the police don't patrol the top of Queen's Park. Firstly they would probably lose a few cars to the pot holes never to be seen again, and secondly I would get pulled over for erratic driving trying to negotiate the chasms appearing on West and North Drive. Those holes could do serious damage to a car. It's getting silly now.

Van went in for a service today, 2 tyres had 'small splits' in them so we recommend they are changed. I expect that was one of the occasions when it was either hit an oncoming vehicle or close my eyes and hope for the best.

Well obviously it's your fault as you didn't spot it and drive round it. If you want Personal responsibility you have to deal with it's consequences

I'm not having a pop at you, just pointing out how ridiculous this situation is where we've somehow managed to get ourselves into a situation where common sense no longer applies

That's not being fair. Folk have a lot to concentrate on when they are driving. The other week I went over a giant pothole on Bear Road. Crunch. I was certainly paying attention to my driving.

Sorry, of course I agree with you, I was trying to be ironic, but couldn't find the emoji

Its got to the point round here some of us locals have had enough and made our feelings clear to the relevant authorities. Maybe you need to find some old doors and some paint !
