Might as well start a happy thread to warn people.
Here's my two cents which ESCC will get an email for.

Just outside Pure Plants in Blackboys (TN22 5LS).
They will make you swear when you hit them.

Yeah tell me about it!

It was either photo one or three that I hit in my eurobox on Tuesday night eek

The force of the impact was such that the interior light housing felt out & was left dangling by its wires.....apart from that I cannot see any damage to the alloy or tyre smile

If you use the report "map" on the council site you can see quite a few stars from cross in hand to blackboys.
Over the past 3 years that long straight road has gone from 70mph smooth to omg do I dare do 50mph.

fishing for ganja?

potholes are a nightmare just now - split a 20" rim on 31st Dec and had car off road for 3 weeks while got another one imported, but whats really bad is the level of repair just now, it seems to be a cottage industry in repairs lasting a few weeks, and then the cycle starts all over agin - job stability by road repair business's?

The councils will just say low budget.
Would of been more cost effective to just rip up the whole road and re-level and re-lay.
Do it properly and it will last years instead of every 3 months.
