BobbyH Posted Friday at 07:13 Report Share Posted Friday at 07:13 That is both funny and disgraceful. Imagine living in a village and being felt like your forgotten about! You know the council should step up to action when the village concerned is mocking the state of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted Friday at 07:31 Author Report Share Posted Friday at 07:31 I would bet good money that none of the Councilors live up those roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure you can call them roads, it's not potholes it's physically missing tarmac.. more like broken down gravel tracks 2 hours ago, oldypigeonpopper said: Hello, My Sons car was damaged by a large Pothole and he recovered the cost of repair from the Local Council Normally this only happens if they are aware of the pothole. So it would have had to be reported by someone before they then become liable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny, a local road, where some councillors live is always gritted and maintained 7 hours ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: I thought they were Welsh motorways............... Oi!!!  living in the area, everything is being cut, with the exception of climate change and active travel budget!! in Flintshire the biggest growing departments are these two. I currently have a FOI request regarding the lane we live on. 5 years ago it was tarmac’d, kerbstones, streetlights - then last week I found the tarmac had lifted above our dropped kerb!! This work was done under active travel.FYI I didn’t want it done!! It just needed fresh stone down  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
