scarby Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Howdo. On my usual route home from work, I have to cross the Wordsworth Ave / Deerlands Ave Roundabout, and the road surface on that is the worst one I've ever seen. More bumps than a Daytona Rally! Wouldn't be so bad in a car, but after I've gone across it on me Scootay, my intestines end up hanging out of my rectal passage! Just wondered if anyone had any ideas on when the Council plan to sort it out.
feargal Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Have you reported it? I reported some potholes about a fortnight ago (used the Council website), and they were filled in about 3 days later!
satman2222 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I know what you mean - I came through there last night. I have reported this a couple of times over the last 5 years, nothing has been done yet.
DaveD Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I thought that the council were waiting till the city's road surface got down to the original cobbles as they wear better ?

Greybeard Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 I thought that the council were waiting till the city's road surface got down to the original cobbles as they wear better ? You'll have a long wait to see cobbles appearing in Parson Cross
Unregistered Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 You'll have a long wait to see cobbles appearing in Parson Cross Yes, from Deerlands Avenue to High Street Ecclesfield, Wordsworth Avenue was contructed by poured concrete in 1947. An inscription written in the wet concrete near to the Wordsworth Tavern says 'POW' and gives the date. Unfortunately this was covered by tarmac several years later. The section of Wordsworth Avenue from Herries Road to Deerlands Avenue, including the area around the roundabout in question, was built pre-war in 1937/1938. God knows what that was made of, probably pit-head slag. . . .
satman2222 Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Quite correct. It is dangerous. It has been reported today. . . . By me!! Again
satman2222 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 But they've still not done anything about it - not even a sniff of yellow paint.
