We had a sunken culvert nr us. An absolute bastard to travel over at any speed especially with a loaded trailer. Council came and "dealt" with it. Didn't deal with the root of the problem just relaid more tarmac and now it's even worse

I doubt it's the product tbh. It will most likely be the prep work. It still needs to be cut square at least 40mm deep and have the joints painted. The emergency gangs don't have the time knowledge or training to do it properly.

1: 00am. I had that weird feeling when you can hear something, but not sure if you're dreaming or not... Suddenly realised I wasn't. It was a stihl saw going full chat outside. Dived out of bed thinking it was someone trying to break into the truck.
No, it was a flatbed transit towing a tower light unit doing pot hole repairs..
0 tm didn't even have amber beacon.
Just had a walk out to see what they were doing and this was it..
I mean I'm the first one to moan about over-the-top TM, but surely a couple of cones would be normal here
For context is a single track road. That bit they've dug up is exactly where cars pull in to let oncoming traffic through. I'm waiting to see how many tyres we get through today
