“the roads around the stroud area have always been the worst in the county, so why anyone should worry about a few little potholes appearing beats me.”

“Great to see the potholes being filled on the major routes. Hopefully they will step up this good work while ignoring all the whingers who expect the potholes in THEIR particular back street to be fixed as a matter of priority. Our road is also in a poor state of repair, and has been for ages, but frankly my dear I don't give a damn!”

“I live in the centre of Gloucester and can think of at least two or three streets (Belgrave Rd for example) which are akin to driving through a third world country... 'Nuff said.”
