Reading and listening to comments regarding the potholes and the state of the roads, I do understand the reasons behind roads and the pothole problems – wet, cold weather – the question I’m asking is are they being managed correctly?
You contact website Fix My Street, a computer is required, inform and identify the potholes. They respond by letting you know it’s been logged and recorded.
This is how it seems to work – weeks/months later out come the road workers, fill in (very poorly) the potholes which are identified, leave the ones next to that one or the other ones metres from it.
Fix My Street is then informed by the public at a later date there are still potholes which have been left unfilled, weeks/months later out come the road repairers again and fill in the ones you never identified the first time.
One trip would have done both jobs. This is just proving Lincs Highways are wasting the tax payers’ money, again.
The question I’m asking is, is the Lincolnshire Highways Department monitoring the work which is being carried out, I presume, by contractors?
Richard Davies, Richard Fenwick or someone from the Department, can you please respond on the road users’ concerns.
