My local council hard at work.... haha
whilst walking back from the shop earlier i came across two council workers 'repairing', ( if thats what they call it ), my road. the three potholes they were repairing are nothing compared to the rest of the road and local area. beleive me its poo!!! but what they have done is a JOKE !!!!!
they just sprinkled tarmac into the hole and stamped it down with their feet. i couldnt believe what i was watching. its all breaking up already as you can see from the pictures.
is this what my car tax money goes on ? ? ?

Around here pot holes develop very quickly, repairing them is pointless to be fair as we have so much armour driving back and forward to The Plain it gets trashed. Pot Hole Slalom is the game of the week.

I have the same council and cycle round permanent repairs (I assume they're permanent because they've been cut into squares) but the quality of the tarmac is no better than those pics.
