Potholes around Aberdeen rite now

[dougk]

Has any1 noticed how many alloy busting holes there are in the roads around the deen right now? & the winter frosts ain't even properly started yet!!!

[standfree93]

Yup. It's terrible. Today I was passing lidl on King Street, heading to B.O.D and on the bus lane I noticed like a layer of the road off. It's getting seriously bad.

It'll soon be like this....

Holburn Street is horrific just now. And how about the massive one just off the roundabout at Albyn, on Forrest Road heading to Gladstone place. Just about fell in it as I crossed the road!

What is with the Council? Do they do anything?

[sherman]

Thought Aberdeen council were broke. So is the state of the roads any great surprise.

[Jason182]

It will just end up the same as last year, unfortunately it seems the council have failed to act yet again this year to stay on top of them

[realaberdeen]

Yeah there are some insane potholes around at the moment. The council bought that jetpatcher didn't they, guess it'll be busy soon.

Hit a bl**dy pothole this morning in Aberdeen, stopped after it happened and steel wheel was bent and wheel trim was in a million pieces. GRRRRR....

[ScottishSamurai]

Theres a horrible one going down to grandholm, They have put barriers up in the middle of the road and its right round a blind corner, been like that for a few weeks useless...

They won't do fk all about it though, i reported a blocked drain 4 months ago and its still blocked. Useless.

Yep, the roads are pretty awful, so why have they had a full section of the parkway re-surfaced? Possibly the best nick road in the city taking into account it's traffic. As said, ther's a massive layer peeled off king street outside Lidl, I think that happened when it was flooded. Most of it is in the bus lane though!

I thought the very same thing when it happened, but then remembered the Parkway is officially the A90 which makes it Bear's responsibility as it's a trunk road - I think?

There was a monster one appeared on Park Street, just at the junction with Urquhart Road, last week, but was filled in within a day. Although it's already on its way to the same condition as the repair involved pouring in some tar from a bucket. Must be the 3rd or 4th time they've 'fixed' it this year alone, 2nd time in 2 weeks.
