Roads are a disgrace

We visit France and Spain at this time of year to family we have. There roads are perfect but ours are a disgrace. Surely the Council can get some tarmac and fill in the pot holes. Last year my husband got some from Wickes and fill ours in on the road. You only need one man with a van going around filling them up. Never mind measuring and saying they aren't big enough yet. Just fill them in.
