      My wife hit a pothole a few days ago that blew out both near side tyres. There were 4 other cars that had blowouts from the same hole already parked up, and a guy came out of a local business to tell her it’s been claiming victims for a few days.

      When getting the exact location on google maps for the claim to the council I could see that those holes were there and had seemingly not long been repaired when the Google images car captured that bit of road…. Not sure when that was, but I’m guessing it must have been taken in the last year or two.

      Our roads are in a bad state and the repairs are just waiting to fail in a worse state a some time in the not too distant future.

      problem is welfare is off loaded onto councils.

      so the road repairs are dumped to look after people

      either move welfare onto the government or bring the highway repair to a separate fund

      I’ve been driving longer than I care to admit and this year was the first time I’d ever seen a ‘WARNING! FAILED ROAD SURFACE’ sign on one of the “roads” I take to work. 

      It’s one of the main routes to get from one town to another and it would be suicide to ride anything with two wheels down there in the dark.

      I’ve never ever known it this bad, it’s got to the point where after big pot holes you normally see cars with hazards on sporting flat tires.

      I read somewhere online a while ago that most of the UKs roads are coming to the end of their serviceable life… and it really does show.

      Is it more economical to continue poorly filling holes, or is a big national effort to resurface roads the better option here
