Who fills the Potholes?

[uber]

I was talking to a city council roads department guy in Greggs and he told me the council repair all potholes them-self and do not use private contractors. Surly with the amount of claims they get you would think outsourcing would work out cheaper.

Was he telling me sausage rolls or is it true?

They are probably sick of gyppo types putting in massive bills for dodgy repairs.

Who fills potholes? By the look of the roads around Aberdeen, they are filled by bloody idiots.

The only council workers I know go and throw a bit of loose tarmac in the hole so it can all be worn out in a couple of hours.

According to some forums members the UK roads are fine anyway.

i don't know but the ones around here, just seem to drive around in a truck, then spray a ring around them, then not bother filling them in.


surely it wwould be better for them to drive around in a truck, then fill in the fking pot holes.

So do they need dug up and relaid or is it simply a case of filling it like a pie :P .

I often see potholes that are filled then 2 weeks later crumbled up

What really gets me is that these useless lazy council workers cant even do a proper job! I reported a couple of big potholes which they did fill but they didnt bother filling the other smaller holes near to the holes i reported!

Round here no one seems to fill them in

[dilbert]

[sarcastic]The trouble is that you need someone with ten years experience to fill potholes that badly. You just can't get the staff.[/sarcastic]

TBH, I'm kinda glad that at last it's recognised as being an issue. It's been glossed over for so long.

Around here I think they're done by a 5 year old with a bucket and spade.

Yeah have to agree, Hampshire CC have been very good overall. Also they are good at doing the work in off peak times.
