Love it! we definitely need to invest in some paint

 

and when they fill up the pot holes they dont level it off...cars/vans ect have to do it..i watched them the other day filling in.they got the black stuff that looks like tarmac of the lorry chucked it in a hole and let a car go over it..shoddy...............:suspect:

If the hole is more than 4 inches deep and you trip in it, you can claim. Make a mint.

Only if you can prove they are aware of it and haven't taken action to make it safe.

never mind the state of the roads. the lane down to the allotments has just been re-surfaced with the use of a roller, looks good, at least the wheel barrows won't get stuck.

Went over a few pot holes this tea time - thanks. No wonder car is knackered. Good idea to show em up with yellow paint - least that way you have a chance to avoid the beggers.

 

SF do same with faulty street lights - putting a band of yellow electrical tape round the post to signal that the lamp is broke. What I don't understand is if SF have stopped to put the tape round the post of the faulty lamp, wouldn't it have just been as easy to fix the problem there and then, assuming if was just a burnt out bulb, etc..?

Street lights get surveyed at night and any found out have the fuse and lamp replaced. If this doesn't get the light lit and its something more serious, they put the yellow tape round it. This helps identify the faulty light during the day when attended by an electrician.
