One of the common complaints we get as councillors is the shocking state of some of the roads and cycle paths in Katesgrove. It's rare to see whole streets being resurfaced and with this year's cutbacks even less likely. And even when they are, that is not always the end of the matter. Surrey, Lincoln and Winchester Roads were resurfaced last year and in less than a week had been dug up by the water board!
I recently asked for the number of road repairs in Reading and there have been 8219 repairs since April. The cold weather has also led to an increase in poor road surfaces. However, the council does have a duty to fix potholes that are classed as dangerous and I've managed to get a few particularly bad ones filled in Highgrove Street so I can vouch for the fact that it is being done.
If anyone knows of any they'd like to have inspected, then you can contact the council direct (Tel: 0800 626 540) or drop either Gareth or me a line and we'll take it up for you.
My article Filling A Gap provides a couple of useful links which I can personally vouch for.
