ivan edake   13 #1 Posted November 16, 2015 Heard a representative of Amey on the radio the other day,he was bragging they had done over 350 miles of road resurfacing in Sheffield.I got to wondering where this has been done,I can't think of 35 miles,let alone 350,Whatever part of Sheffield I travel to I have to avoid potholes so I wonder if other Forum readers have any ideas.I do however see plenty of pavement work being done especially where nobody ever walks(eg on the Bithums).

ivan edake   13 #4 Posted November 16, 2015 Sheffield has about 1220 miles of roads according to what I've read in The Star.  So if 350 miles have been done we should see roughly one in four roads with new tarmac,I'm sure this is not the case.

max   13 #12 Posted November 16, 2015 As roads have been a major topic of conversation on this forum since its inception perhaps people might be inclined to attend one of the road shows.  That way, they can pose their questions to someone who may actually know the answer.
