Back in March I reported a strange hole in Weston Park to the Council (see previous posting) and I was assured that the contractors who had resurfaced the road in 2008 would fix the problem at their own cost. The hole appeared to be caused by poor workmanship with metal peices left under the tarmac.
I assumed this would be the end of it, but last week I got a call from my colleague Cllr David Winskill, who lives nearby, to say the hole was still there – and growing (see photo taken at the weekend). I’ve now fired off an annoyed email to the Council’s highways officers demanding to know why – almost 4 months on – this hole still hasn’t been fixed. It worries me that they seem not to check up on repairs that contractors are asked to make.

A circle has been painted round the hole in the last few days – hopefully indicating that something is about to happen. So sending annoyed emails to the Council can sometimes work.
