Despite £3m being made available for County Highways, it would seem that funds are not being made available for repairs and the pothole situation remains unchanged. As some villagers may be aware there are a number of potholes throughout the village that only ever seem to get as far as being marked with a white line! County Councillor Mr Stuart Lilly has requested, that if any member of the Parish has called the Highways Reporting Line (0845 310111) and has seen no action taken, within a reasonable time, then he will be pleased to take up the matter on our behalf.
So if you find a pothole that hasn’t been fixed or marked please call the Highways Reporting line (0845 310111) and ask for the reference number. If after a reasonable time no action is taken please give this information to one of your Parish Councillors.
