    I have used fix my street quite a few times of late. The repairs have all been carried out within a reasonable time.

    I also, using the same site, told the council how bad our paths are. It has taken a while, but they have been, they have dug out the old, and completely renewed the paths.

    They have done a wonderful job and should be commended for once instead of criticised!

    Greece has better roads than us

    by Fred Farhadian , over 2 years ago
    THIS IS BOTH SHAMEFUL AND DEPRESSING
    I go to Greece on holiday frequently, and for the first time in 20 years, our roads are noticeably worse than theirs.

    This is despite the famous financial crisis and the earthquakes factors.


    Our roads are Third World roads unfit for car use.

    I live at post code PE12 0TX. on B1166, my car hits the road at the underside.I have a normal height car.

    The old road from Dowsdale to Crowland is virtually impossible use without causing serious damage to the underside of the car.

    High Claims Commitment

    by Kevin.Pridgen, over 2 years ago

    I hit a pothole traveling from Metheringham to woodhall spa which resulted in a burst tyre and cracked wheel hub, not a good thing to change a tyre in the dark, in the rain, on a bend in the road with reasonably heavy traffic. That cost the council over £800 for my claim, not what I pay my road fund licence for.

    I can fully understand why so many people buy 4x4 vehicles. It’s because of the terrible pothole ridden state of the counties roads!

    I think personally a speed limit of 40mph should be imposed on Bardney Causeway due to the state of the highway until its properly repaired,There has been one death already and numerous accidents over the past 18 months.

    Making chapel saint Leonards more attractive

    by A Yorkshire visitor, over 2 years ago
    I'm only a tourist and not a resident but the area depends on tourism for a major part of its income.

    While visiting the area I noticed the street volunteer litter pickers and little chappie bin man doing a very good job trying to keep the beach and streets clean probably caused by the tourists in the first place.

    In the early morning 5-7am trunch lane looked dirty, and the promenade messy.

    On a recent Trip abroad the street cleaners were out early cleaning the tourist areas with road sweepers and hose pipes making it look tidy for when the... Continue reading

    limited repairs have been done on the area between the entrance to Ambergate School and Barrowbygate - but only filling in major holes. -also minor areas have been left either side of the repairs. Road therefore still in further need of repair. Also the extremely tall trees in the same area have not been touched for several years and are overhanging the path - not to mention having some effect on the efficiency of my solar panels! The trees further down have seen work done - some twice and it would be nice if they moved up the road

    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.

    Main Road Potholes

    by Ray Edge, almost 3 years ago

    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.
