So just to be clear,paid a grand a day .....but it isn't really,pot hole consultant!
An update following recent misleading stories in the media about a 'pothole consultant'

Jobs for the boys, suppose he also recommends that his own company is best suited to meet their needs.
The reason the council's are in such a poor state is that no one has common sense, it's not their money so they just don't care. They just waste a horrendous amount of money, how many other consultants are creaming away with other tasks.
Not being funny it can't be rocket science they know how much it costs to get X amount of holes filled or roads resurfaced and then on top of that have some fancy van with sonar/laser or whatever it is driving about checking road surfaces.
Instead of giving someone 1k a day they could employ some numpty for 20k or whatever amount, give them a little Noddy van and just have them driving around the county's roads checking road surfaces and pot holes.
Either that or stop doing these crappy top dressing repairs that last a year or two, if that. They redid a section near me a few months ago......
Which failed due to wind or rain or some other crappy excuse so needed the repair l, repairing
