Having mentioned the shocking state of the road surface at Sturmer on here previously, I finally experienced it when driving through last weekend.
And I then decided to take a few videos today when out for a drive.
It's a shocker.
...Though I believe Essex's roads actually came out slightly more favourably than Suffolk's on that red-amber-green map that was released the other month?

lmfao at that old car (was it some kind of Mercedes) at 1m15s going straight through and all the shiny 4WD fannies with their modern suspension tiptoeing along.
Great traffic calming scheme (so long as there's a parallel bike path, I'm happy).
Good work by Philogene...... GREAT WORK BY PHILOGENE!!!

Have a friend who lives in Sturmer, she said it is quite nice no longer having cars speed past their house but unfortunately the lorry drivers don't give a fig and still bomb through.
There needs to be a dedicated road programme where instead of this totally stupid situation of doing one pothole and leaving another two feet away. Where necessary whole lengths of road need completely resurfacing. It must work out totally wrong to fix a pothole, only to go back again a week or so later to fix another one a few feet away. If as has been suggested the reason for all the potholes is that cracks appear in the surface and with all the rain it seeps into the cracks, opens up and forms a pothole. Why do they not look into material to surface a road that doesn't crack and open up. They must use something different for runways.

I think they used to do "surface dressing" to the roads in the summer months
Spray hot tar and then immediately sprinkle a thin layer of sharp gravel on the top, run over it with a roller and then come back a few days later to sweep ur the excess
It was regarded as preventative maintainence, seal the surface ready to withstand the next cuppla winters
Years of right wing governments have gutted local authorities, stripped their budgets to the bone and now such sensible measures are no longer carried out
Tories are fools who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing
