When is a road repair not a repair

This photograph shows the junction of Hill Road at Hill Street after temporary repairs were carried out. The residents who contacted me about the deteriorating condition of the carriageway are of the view that it is actually worse than before, and I wouldn't disagree with them. This is just another example of why the council needs to allocate additional funding to its roads maintenance budget.

I have been advised by the council that the Road Maintenance Partnership will continue to organise  temporary repairs of any actionable defects at this location to maintain it in a safe condition until it can be included in a future patching scheme.
