Potholes

[grifter]

If my understanding is correct aren't road surfaces about 90% rough aggregate, shredded glass and the tar is just a "glue" to hold it all together. I think they might be using cornflakes and weetabix as the aggregate now!

 Lots of "repairs" done around my area of Essex recently.
Signs up for road closures as most have started to come out again

Interesting programme a few nights ago about using plastic waste as road surfacing, allegedly much stronger longer lasting, and a great deal cheaper.

Bit, as it wears, wouldn't we get plastic 'dust' thrown into the air?

The roads in this country are actually a good representation of the country as a whole. Every time I read the news it's another benefit cut or another council skint or whatever. The latest benefit cut is for parents of children who's partner has died. Cut drastically under the guise of 'helping them to get on their own two feet more quickly'.
Sorry...rambling again......nothing to do with potholes.

Just been out with dog. The roads around here have significantly deteriorated even in the last week. This latest bit of cold weather has thrown out all of the 'repairs' done after the last lot. I dodged one particular hole that I'm convinced would have broken my nearside front suspension. Sheesh.......

Aren't you supposed to walk with the dog not just drive it around for a while?

Strange that, my neighbour drives about ten miles to take his dog around a country park when we,ve got countryside within a five minute walk. Still. each to their own.

Are local councils now using pot holes as a badge of honour ? our local council takes great delight in blaming " savage government cuts" for pot holes and just about everything else that is f****d up around here ,it's an easy cop out for them

They have a quaint Wiltshire method round 'ere, they be laying tarmac over horse manure, presumably hoping to ensure further work, or not as seems to be the current system.
