Last year a large stretch of the A17 near Sleaford was just bits flying everywhere frown It had been resurfaced the day before. It was so bad it should have been closed completely, but of course as it's the weekend nobody (Police?) would bother. At least Lincolnshire Highways admitted the contractor had failed and confirmed they would be doing it again (properly) at no additional cost to the public. If that happened of course!

A local road to me has recently been given a coating of glue and cat litter. Already the join between the 2 lanes is starting to open up, there are bits dug out where vehicles brake for the speed humps and all the ironworks are now below the road surface.

Please tell those responsible, otherwise they will claim they never knew. This, of course, suggests they don't check their's or their contractors work after completion! If challenged they say 'we regularly check the road' ........... Strange if lodging the damage claim the 'checking' is dated the day before the event!
This has been going on for years and many pothole victims have been denied legal redress due to lies and obfuscation! Hmm.... shades of PO mentality there I think! This ongoing travesty of justice will maybe be the next scandal to hit the headlines?
