Pot hole mender…..taken through a window.

Funny I mentioned pot holes yesterday because today the council turned up to fill in all pot holes deeper than 3 inches I think…….the one outside our house was not deep enough but Harry happened to see them arrive & was out like a shot to ask them to fill it in. It had got deeper since they marked them all but hadn’t got the magic white ring round it!!
They fixed it….joked it would cost us £30 but we ignored that!
The road is marginally better plus our Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced he is putting £200 million into the war on potholes!
We will believe it when we see it!

I think I must be sending vibes out!! 🤣🤣
Well you are lucky to get pot hole repairs.. We seem to get as far as the spray markings ... leave it till the spray fades mark again.. leave it.. and so on.. Must be a universal problem.

Wow you are indeed lucky a nice working candid

Great they are being mended - send Harry our way so he can organise the big potholes to be mended outside our front gate…

In early spring the towns fill the bigger pot holes but the cold weather over night causes the tar to shrink away from the edges and by the next day is gone. They keep refilling them until finally the weather warms and the fll sticks.

Great candid ! and good to see the potholes filled and mended!

Hope he fixed it properly, and hasn't just slapped some filler into it

@dide @julzmaioro Funny I have always praised your roads, things must have gone downhill a bit! Also when you mend your roads I always liked the way you kept traffic moving whereas here the whole traffic stops fir traffic lights & many a time no one working!

@beryl @carolmw Hope the tarmac sticks in the hole, they slapped it in but then came with a roller to squash it in. @Dawn

They must have heard your thoughts Pat. Some of these pot holes can be really big & quite dangerous.
March 13th, 2023  
Keep it up Pat, maybe we will all get our potholes filled in soon!

You are lucky, we have to drive like a Dodgem car to avoid them!

Good job Harry spotted them. This is how they do temporary fillings here too but the next time it rains quite a few of them get waterlogged again.

I know all the rough places on my various routes…….I dodge about if I can & avoid as many as possible. Cyclists don’t fare so well though sadly. How can you enjoy a cycle ride when constantly watching the toad? Over the handle bars in a flash!

Glad to see they fix them there.
