Potholes and the future

Over recent years we have had a regular pothole problem each winter. Potholes have been filled in. I have been taking photos from around Buckhurst Hill and, along with some residents, have met with council officials. I was glad of the prompt response by the council. I am surprised that many were left unfilled from the previous winter. Of course we had the dictat from the previous Labour government over the depth the holes needed to be before being filled (not, as some have claimed, the Tory County Council). Let’s be fair - they had their hands tied. In the long term we need a complete overhaul of our roads. The council officals agree. However we have one thing stopping this: Coalition Government cuts will mean this cannot happen or that it will be a stretch to make it happen.
