Our contractor has been notified to take the appropriate action.

This is still really deep and not sprayed or marked to be fixed. The one next to the barrier is so deep you have to slow right down to a crawl to drive over it if you can’t go around it. Going to damage cars at this rate.
-
Thank you for your update. Works raised at time of inspection remain outstanding with our contractor and is awaiting completion.

Do you have an estimated completion date please? Thanks
-
These are shockingly large now. With the road being so narrow it's hard to go round them and someone will damage their wheel axle on this
-
This is my original report and that was a month ago, they are now so bad to drive over. What’s taking so long to get these ones fixed?
-
Could this please be given priority?
-
Escalated to the relevant Local Councillors.
-
-
Any update as to a completion date? Thanks
-
Yes still not fixed, really deep, have to drive over it at 5mph so I don’t damage my car driving over it four times a day! What the heck is taking so long. Coming up on 6 weeks since I reported it! Terrible
-
Why is this taking so long to repair please? thanks
-
Thank you for your update, This issue has been referred to our contractor to arrange for previous repairs raised to be completed. We apologise for the delay.

Any indication of a scheduled start date please? Thanks
-
STILL NOT FIXED! unbelievable
-
Any time scales for a resolution date please? Has been ongoing since early February.
-
Problem still ongoing
-
What is happening with these two potholes? 6 weeks since I reported it and still nothing. They are awful to drive over. Can’t believe how long they’ve been taken to fix. Think you need to employ a new contractor because they are rubbish.
-
Any updates on a scheduled completion date?
-
Official complaint now lodged with LBB website. As still no indication of a likely completion date, in spite of requesting this.
-
Thank you for your further comments regarding this issue. Bromley are aware of the significant volume of works raised and outstanding with our contractor and we are continuing to monitor and liaise with them over this outstanding schedule of works. Our Officers are not able to give precise timeframes to individual jobs at this moment but are continuing to undertake regular safety inspections and check any reported issues. We will continue to work with our contractor to ensure that all outstanding jobs are addressed as quickly as they are able.

Holes that size should be made safe in 24hrs, they have been marked up, why has nothing happened in over a month, what failure KPI's do you invoke against your contractor? A tub of bitmac to make safe is a 2 minute job.
-
Do we have an estimated completion date please, as it's now 54 days since it was reported.
-
Considering the huge rise in our council taxes it’s clearly not being spent on maintaining our borough. This is absolutely ridiculous that it’s still not fixed after nearly 2 months. Our roads are all in a disgusting state. Someone’s going to start drawing penis’s round them soon to get them fixed quicker for obscenity.

Amazed the pothole is still there more than after 2 months of reporting. This is one of the largest pothole in the area and is very dangerous especially for motorcyclists and cyclists and even to cars. Hard to see it in the dark. What is taking the council this long to fix this dangerous pothole?
-
Do we have a resolution date as yet please?
-
Please do not duck the issue of quoting dates. I am henceforth notifying people a "don't duck the date awareness campaign" has been launched. Some potholes have been left for long families of ducks have taken residency. I would encourage others to highlight the problem by promoting my campaign.
-
Bromley council WHERE ARE YOUR CONTRACTORS!? I drive around Orpington several times a day, I haven’t seen a single contractor van out filling a single pot hole for about 3 months. I hope you are going to be refunding a portion of our council tax because the roads are disgusting to drive on. You can’t call them roads! These ones still aren’t fixed 11 weeks after I reported them!! What the hell kind of service is that.
-
I have escalated to the Ward Local Councillors as well today. I saw a Bus having to swerve to avoid them and having to cross the road into the face of ongoing traffic. This is not safe. I assume nothing will be done until there is a serious incident.
-
73 days since initially reported. Targets are 2 hours for emergency response 10 days and 35 days for less urgent. I have nothing to add.
-
I also tried to report these two potholes and was told the contractor was sent out and could not find them!! Incredible - they are so bad especially when driving from the station towards tubbenden school. They are really dangerous and deep

Bromley council please employ some new contractors because the ones you have now clearly cannot keep up with demand. It should not take two months to fill some holes in the road. This is simply ridiculous. You need to be doing more than spouting the same generic response to everyone’s complaints. Utterly shameful.
-
It's hard work trying to get this sorted I have tried trucks and ducks.
-
Almost 11 weeks to the day since I made this report and I drove over them today and they’ve finally been filled!! Hallelujah!! What a lot of effort!!
-
I am going to check and confirm the quality of the repair.
-
Appropriate action has been taken to resolve the issue.
