Just in case you didn't know, if you report a pot hole or crack in the road to your local council, they will generally come round and repair it pretty damned quickly. It's because if a fault in the road has been reported and then someone has an accident and the council have been given "reasonable" (grey area in law) time to repair it then they can be liable for the cost of repairs or compensation to a driver/rider if they are in an accident caused by the fault. Often it will be repaired within 24-48 hours of reporting it if it's dangerous.

I understand it's "under construction", but how difficult is it to use a spell checker??

"The condition of roads in Britan is appauling" ...and so is your spelling
EDIT : "A higher miniumum standard for contacters"... contractors?? ...ffs


I think I'll be sticking with the local council for now

Is this addressing anything BMF or MAG don't already cover?

unfortunately they use the cheapest, crappiest tarmac to fill the hole, if its on a bus route it'll be back next month/week/day.

I live in the highlands of Scotland and tbh the roads are great up here twisty, long straights but the amount of heavy goods vehicles rip the road up pretty bad. It's that bad it splits and underneath is a very shinny and slidy surface which is pretty much in the riding line. They seem to be doing a lot of resurfacing to the roads but typical council not in the right bloody places. My rear tyre is lucky to see over 1k miles due to the roads here.

Why add another to do just the same.... Why not try to join forces with them and make it even better.
Having said that its far better to go direct to the council yourself.... But that means getting off your butt to do something, which seems to be sadly neglected these days....
Many councils allow you to do it online, but to be honest you cannot beat talking to a fellow human to get them to the correct location.

annoyingly true

if the roads were perfect with proper drainage and all junctions were clearly marked and corners had signs indicating the severity of turn and the white paint wasnt slippy...

would any of us still have a license?

fuck its complicated being human sometimes
