Potholes re-appearing on NCN51

This section of road is heavily used by cyclists on NCN51 as it is adjacent to the A14 underpass (bypassing Quy roundabout).

Potholes are re-appearing here. Some have been filled multiple times, but the quality of repairs has been extremely poor. So now already the potholes have again reached dangerous depths for cyclists.

Only at the end of April some of the holes were eventually "repaired" (I use the term loosely as it seemed to be a very slapdash and incomplete job). See http://www.fixmystreet.com/report/93613

Please repair them properly this time!

Someone also needs to sweep the road as the destroyed road surface now takes the form of gravel spread across it, which means that if you can avoid the holes, then at the point you've just been going down an incline and need to turn sharply, there's a surface with no grip.

They have now reached a dangerous depth, and are a genuine hazard to cyclists at night. Especially if there are oncoming vehicles coming from Quy Mill, which means cyclists have to move straight into the path of the holes.

Yes the worst bits have been fixed (and to a higher standard than before), but not in all places. But I guess it may be the most the council is prepared to do, oh well.
