Accidents waiting to happen

I live in the south of the county on the border with numerous other counties. All have significantly better roads than Lincolnshire. I have just returned from an area of the country which experiences significantly worse weather conditions than we do with considerable rain and snow: the roads were brilliant, not a pothole in sight. I cycle the roads regularly and it is not only a very unpleasant ride but also VERY dangerous both due to the need to swerve unexpectedly to miss potholes and large areas of damaged roads, risking moving into the path of cars, but also when going down hill at speed and being unable to avoid the holes. Casterton Road in Stamford is particularly bad with huge areas of the last repair having failed. I too have reported numerous times potholes via the very good app - repairs are generally done quickly if bad enough - only to fail again in less than 6 months. The quality of the repairs is generally very poor and surely costing far more when they have to keep returning? My own street has numerous potholes which are being ignored because the main roads are priority; fine but please repair so that they last more than one season. I would also be interested in the cost-benefit analysis of the policy of repeated 'surface dressing' where the underlying potholes are rarely properly fixed as I suspect that the sums don't add up and we rapidly move to loss of the surface coating - Uffington to Barnack road is a recent example - the road surface is awful, worse than before they dressed it only a couple of months ago. I have also had a recent punch from hitting a particularly bad pothole at night and my alignment is now requiring attention. I could go on. Yes, time to get us out of our cars, but let's make our roads safe for other users so that this is possible without risk of a serious accident.
