All the roads round here are a disgrace.
Several were fully resurfaced last year and are now not far off of a dirt track in Africa. The contractors doing the works arent doing it properly and the roads break up within a month or two.

Same in my neck of the woods. Council send out an "inspector" when a pothole is reported. He paints a yellow line around it as a marker for repair. About 2 months later the repairers turn out to thump in a patch, but ignore new holes next to the original hole because they don't have any magic yellow paint
I would say that the council would need to put up a sign warning drivers just as they do when roads are being repaired, or resurfaced. If the road is wet, that paint would not be visible to a motorist and if the sun should come out whilst the road is wet, at this time of year, it definitely wouldn't be visible if driving towards the sun.I'm sure I read that there is some kind of loophole the local authorities can use whereby when the pothole has that paint sprayed around it this means it's on the scheduled repair list and they cannot be held liable from that point on? Perhaps even that visibility of the hole would now be obvious as well?
the judge ordered the council to pay for the bike repaired and costs.
Councils usually start road repairs etc at the end of the financial year to spend the remainder of their budget on the pretext that if they don't spend their allocated budget, the following years budget is cut accordingly.The potholes around Enfield are terrible at the moment.
But the thing I can't understand is where the hell does the local council get all the money for roadworks from as on my 4 mile drive to work for at least the past 5 years there seem to be continuous road works in one place or another in fact a few weeks ago there were three sets of different roadworks on one stretch of road, its crazy and yet the potholes remain.
