Title: The Lunatics have taken over the Asylum
Post by: Auto Addict on 05 April 2011, 07:49:55
The roads in Birmingham are littered with pot holes, so, what are the Council doing about it?

Everywhere you go, there seem to be workmen involved in pavement improvements.

Sounds about right!

Theyve been filling in loads of potholes round here, have started on some full blown resurfacing too.

I wish, around here you have to drive on dipped eyesight to avoid them, which is not the best way to drive. >:(

Had very similar around Lincoln, having to weave from one side of the road to the other in order to avoid all the holes.  They have made an effort to fill alot of them now, however you now do the same weaving to avoid all the lumps in the road rather than the holes!

That'll be about right.....its happening here too.....except they are resurfacing/changing street lights/changing pedestrian crossing lights as well.....

Birmingham council obviously hasnt got as much council tax money left over as Swindon.....and it must be allocated/spent by 31st March....

Council tax cannot be reduced can it  ::)
