“We don't need to bring on the clowns, we already have them managing our road surfaces.
Perhaps they are not repairing the A46 By Focus in Stroud because the potholes were there before this year's frost.
By the way, that's a nice surface you laid on that "busy" piece of road going in to Coates.”

“Ouch, if it a real one then there are going to be a fair few people getting a letter on the doormat in the next week or so. I guess that will be a £60 fine then. I was tempted to start using it again but don't think I will risk it now.”

“yes, the camera by Llanthony Bridge is a working one - Automatic Number Place Recognition job, so the registered owners of all those cars you saw crossing the bridge will be getting a fixed penalty notice in the post”

“this paper/website reported last week that potholes in Cheltenham Road East had been repaired - it certainly doesn't look like it, as there are still loads in the road, and they're getting bigger.
There is the odd bit of white paint though, marking where some of the worst ones are along the stretch approaching Churchdown from Cheltenham...”

“And what about the loose tarmac that is left behind,from the old tarmac breaking away and the new poor job all this loose tarmac is a knightmare,scatters everywhere and looks a right mess,innsowrth lane is a good example if you walk along the path,motorbikes too are at risk,why cant they sweep up after their repairs i dont know”

“Good old Stan and the rest of the numpties at GCC. Let the roads get in such a state that they have 90,000 pot holes - then spin it that they filled in 15,000 of them and that they are doing a good job.

Just for the record - does anyone know if that new camera on the swingbridge by Glos College is a real un or whether it's just for show?? Was stood there today and lots of cars still crossing the bridge - none of them taxis either :)”

“What a bunch of whingers you lot are! "oh but they haven't done my street yet..." (moan)

Quite frankly, I'm amazed at how quickly these potholes have been filled in as I didn't expect the work to start until the weather had improved (May?).

From what I've seen round my area (in car or on bike) the work is of a good standard.

So, to the road crews carrying out this work I say "Job well done!"”

“They came and patched three holes at the end of my street and left the other 20-ish untouched!
Good old British council worker!”

“i see hesters way road isn't on the list is it because we're lower class and dont deserve the same as everyone else..i counted 67 pot holes the other day at 30mph i bet if i walk that road it would be more like 80
pot hole..sort it out cheltenham council cause if we held onto our rent you'd soon act then.”

“Question is, I repeat question is.... why were there 15,500 potholes in the first place. Weak and poor quality repairs in the first place, Was it the Gas, Electricity or Waterboard who did'nt fix em properly in the begining. It seems that patchwork is a job not checked by The County Council once sub contractors have put in what they got permission to put in in the first place. End result potholes being repaired by the county council. Check em first then sign them off and if they fail call the subbies back in to fix em or fine em.....”
