Dockings holt long Sutton

The road is practically falling into the dyke next to it’s not safe it’s a single track road that will soon disappear into the dyke pot wholes that are the entire road and has been abandoned for years

Main Road Potholes

I am particularly concerned by potholes in the main part of the carriageway. We assume that there will be damage at the edge but nearer the centre they cannot be avoided when the road is busy with twoway traffic. At night they cannot be seen with approaching headlights.

Pothole Solutions

Whilst the loss of funding is not helpful, a change of repair method might resolve the problems. At present when reports of multiple potholes in a road are made the contractors eventually attend and repair just one or two leaving others to develop. This no doubt leads to a further repair contract in due course which generates more profit for the contractors so I can understand why they do it. Surely the most economical approach would be to fully repair badly degraded stretches of road on one visit.
