Council sent a team to repair the worst of the pot holes, they intend to leave the remaining pot holes until they get sufficiently bad before they affect repairs to them.
-
I do not understand why it makes more sense to fix some of the pot holes today and wait a few weeks to repair some more, then come back later to do some more again. Surely it is better value for money to send the team to site to repair everything that needs work and not have to send them back to site again.

Readings roads continue to deteriorated whilst the people we pay to maintain them continue to be paid. If I didn't do my job I'd be fired.
-
Small patches repaired to the worst areas, however the remainder is left to deteriorate until the attend again, wasting more tax payers money. Better to repair the street properly and return in 25 years than patch and return in six months.

No further repair completed. Road surface completely gone in places, showing hard core below, however because it does not have steep sides it has not been repaired. This is a common trait of Reading Borough Council, many roads lie in terrible condition from r years. The roads are quickly deteriorating whilst our road maintenance department continues to waste money hand over fist. They would rather reattend a site over and over than deal with the whole of the issue on their first attendance and not reattend. It makes me wonder what arrangement the roads department has worked out that would cause them to operate in the least efficient possible manner?

What does it take to get a local authority to carry out the maintenance to our roads that we are paying for them to do?
-
Months afyer the original report, the local authority have only repaired the areas that were over 50mm deep, so although the carriageway has no surface left in a number of places, they will not repair the worn out road.
-
Pot holes remain, I can't understand the mindset of somebody that would send out engineers to repair some of the pot holes but not all of them. Surely it will cost more to send the same engineer out twice to do two potholes rather than once to do all of the pot holes. They will be back soon as more of the potholes are getting worse and will soon be deep enough to trigger the repair requirement. IN the mean time this remains a trip hazard, a health and safety matter that if I hear of somebody falling as a result of these potholes I will immediately advise them that I reported these months ago and they were not dealt with.
