Some holes have worsened and appeared after the rain a bit further down Bective Road. These have not been marked yellow on the recent inspection (a large number have thank you), will these automatically be repaired or do they need to also be marked?

As previously reported there are a large number of holes between the junction near 70 Bective Road and the bottom of Bective Road / Ruskin Road junction.
These have been marked for repair but in the last two weeks some of them have worsened and are now quite deep with sharp edges.
Could the street be reinspected please for possibly sooner repair.

Cannot work out why some of these holes have been filled this weekend but others nearby that were also marked for repair have been ignored again! It seems that every time a contractor comes to fill the holes, they only fill half the the process starts again if waiting weeks!!!

Excellent, thanks for the update. Hopefully they will do all patches and holes from top to bottom of the street as many were missed on the last attempt!

Not completed on 2-4 February, only 2 days were used and a vast number of holes were not repaired. Holes now getting worse due to bad weather. 6 months at least since these started to be reported.

A number of holes have been marked orange today. These are holes opposite the Newington Road junction. Other holes along Bective Road and at the top near number 70, previously marked up have not been marked orange. What does the new orange paint on only some of the holes signify?
