Be aware the A696
Discussion
If anyone is driving the A696 either 10/15 miles North or South of Rochester in Northumberland, be aware of the absolutely shocking state of the roads. There were 3 inch deep gouges which ran for 20 feet and covered the whole width of the lane. I had to drive on the opposite side of the road at some points just to avoid destroying my car. It was like a private road!If I had hit them at the speed limit never mind anything else I could have destroyed my car and possibly myself.
There really needs to be more auditing and inspection of road maintenance. Every other technical industry I can think of conforms to some kind of regulations. As far as I can see, road maintenance does not.
That's my rant, but just be aware if you are on this stretch in the near future. All I can say is thank God for the PCCB's!!!
