you wait now and they will claim the repair took place before the alleged damage and provide forged paperwork to prove it


Basically your road is fucked and needs proper fixing.

yea all they do is "patch it up" and that lasts for about 3 months before it re-appears. But they all come together. Thats just a section of our road. Its bad all over, apart from where they have resurfaced. The whole town, the roads are just the same. I might take my camera out and show you all a few of Scunthorpes finest roads.... lmao.....

yes add to the fact that we now have 3 times the traffic up and down the road since they had a brain-wave to put road humps on a non-residential part of the road that runs paralell to ours. So everyone goes down ours to avoid them.....

I notice you no longer use the phone to demonstrate the size of the hole...

Are the phones broken now? How would you rate the phones? Would you recommend them to a friend? If you don't have them anymore what have you done to replace the phones? If you went back in time and had to purchase a cordless phone would you buy the same model?

Thanks in advance.

Petition the council for wieght limit on your road. All the roads round my house have weight limits to stop the lorries doing that. Only then takes a few weeks of over-zealous ticket issuing for the lorry drivers to get the message.

BUT whatever you do, DONT say people are speeding or youll get your own speed bumps Councils love them for some reason!!!
