If it was a simple pot hole repair on a solid base I would agree. But sadly neglect has gone on far too long and simple pothole repairs in many cases can only ever be a short term fix. Put tarmac on something that is not solid and it will never last. When a full resurface is required and the Council order a bodge job, you can not blame the contractor for that.

Watching a hole 24 hours a day requires engineers and supervisors, traffic management teams of course, then the auditing company, obligatory council consents, seasonal impact reports, environmental impact assessment, all of which must be prepared by suitably qualified organisation. The mind boggles at what else could be invented, and attributed to the sorry little hole in the road, that some destitute called home.

Road works over here in NSW Australia are no better, I live on a reasonably busy regional road. A motorcyclist hit a pothole just up the road from my place. The rider sued the council for the condition of the road. About twelve months ago contractors dug up the road and laid a massive amount of hot mix to quite a depth. A few weeks later they came around and dug up strips around twenty feet wide where they had resurfaced the road ? The powers to be then came around and put no stopping signs near all the intersection (onr either side of my property) but these signs were left covered up. The contractors then came down and painted a solid white line up and down the road but ending near each intersection by curving to the kerb. So a couple of weeks ago they uncovered all the no stopping signs, and the neighborhood were waiting for them to be enforced (my neighbor parks his semi trailer outside his house in one of the zones). I went to leave my house the other morning and to my amazement there was not a no stopping sign in sight, they had all been removed by the Council (assumption, or they are at the scrap metal dealers?).

Anyone who wears Pendleton fabrics is cool in my book. Pendleton Blankets are a natural, crafted product that connects the landscape, people, ancestral traditions and sense of luxury as well as being warm, tactile and holding value. The EV trend will not last as long or be as respected and save as much fuel as the legendary Pendleton Woolen Mills.

St. Christopher Charging? Did they do an assessment at all to see if the cost are the same or less? Does the company that sold the vans to them know any of the purchasers of these vans? Conflict's of interest? Did they ask the public if that is what they wanted their money spent on these type of vans? They seem like they don't care if they get caught, like they want people to loose all hope and get violent so they have justification to use violence back. If they aren't scared yet they should be when people want true justice, law, and order!

I’m very surprised that the ferry company agreed to transport them to the island. I wonder if all 12 went on the same crossing? Also, I wonder if that required any additional insurance coverage? Given the risk of spontaneous-self-combustion. I would be surprised if their maritime insurers were happy about it. Usually they’re quite picky, aren’t they… insurance companies. Those ferries also carry passengers don’t they? Were those folks warned that they were setting out to sea with 12 potential incendiary devices capable of killing everyone on board from the deadly toxic fumes produced when they self-combust. So many questions. Who has the answers?

Talking of highways, Ringway, you will find them parked up in their transits about Jan to Apr, no work, only going to call outs because they have run out of money to do any maintenance. As for gulley services, is there such a thing as an electric road sweeper, drain sucker. Can it run for more than 6 hrs without issues. As a Worcestershire man, where do our bin Lorrie’s go, Throckmorton, a good 30 min round trip.

The contractors who have been rebuilding the motorway north of Hamilton, New Zealand have been working on it for well over a year so far. Every time I go through there I am amazed by how little progress has been made. There are vehicles everywhere, but none of them ever seem to be doing anything. There are groups of men huddled around with clipboards or just leaning on shovels. This is to completely resurface a road that was only opened a few years ago. I have no idea what they are doing. They keep moving cones around and shifting the lanes, but it all just looks the same. The same thing has been going on with the Southern Motorway in Auckland for the last several years. They have been adding an extra lane, but by the time it is finished there will be so many new houses in that area that it will need another lane.

That drives me nuts. Somerset do this all the time and like you say lots of turn offs. Hubby ignored one once due to the idiotic detour. Eventually met the workers who let him through anyway. Turns out none of them are local and detours are planned via apps. We currently have detours in place with huge signs saying it’s a criminal offence to remove them as people removed them to drive down the lanes. They are in place for two years.

Think that road closures in the UK are a joke? A few years ago I wa driving in France and came across road works in a small town. There was a diversion sign off to the right, which I followed, driving along country roads for 10 kilometres before rejoining the main road. However, imaging my shock and surprise to discover I was back in the same small town, 100 metres from the diversion sign.

I grew up and learnt to drive on the IoW, and passed both car and m/c tests there. The saying was Island roads are different because when they upgraded they simply covered the cart tracks with tarmac. Many roads certainly seemed so. One road by Parkhurst Forest was so bad you could, at the right speed, get all four wheels off the road. I tried every one of my cars here from my first Ford Anglia to my last company car ( Škoda Yeti) before retiring here to the Philippines. In truth the IoW is one of the very few places that electric cars make sense. You can't go that far away from base. In fact my student job was in a milk bottling plant in Newport, putting local milk in recyclable bottles then sending it out on electric milk floats. All that was ended by the EU demanding access to the market for cheap French milk. The milk plant is now a block of flats and the milk is sent to the mainland for bottling and returned from the mainland for sale in plastic bottles, all transported by diesel lorries, and very green (not). The Island is also the only place I have come across where every road scheme makes matters worse. I worked, as a student, with a guy who's father was the architect responsible for the notorious roundabout at St Mary's Hospital (recently removed) and he maintained the odd route of the roads was caused by an accidental coffee cup stain he made on his father's design. Unlikely, but believable.

On the road closure topic, I live in a very rural area, Anglia Water shut the end of my Rd for works to connect a derilict property to mains and most likely a meter as well. The Rd was closed Mon 5th Aug and was still closed last night Tues 13th Aug for a hole aprox 1 metre square, NO workers on site for most of the 1st week. This resulted in local residents having approx 2 mile diversion along a cycle route not wide enough for 2 cars to pass, the route also serves a camp site (motor homes and caravans) and a very busy at weekends pub. A local moved the barriers on Friday night still protecting the hole (nobody fell in it ) barriers back in place yesterday 13th, workers on scene. Not bad for a 2 day job !
