One and three

Today it has been reported there are three million potholes on our roads. To repair them all would cost one billions pounds. Utility companies are being blamed for not putting the road back as it should be after they dig holes and even worse some councils are redefining the depth of potholes to reduce the number they have in their area. Near us a road is being resurfaced, its paths replaced etc. The road was subject to a forty mile an hour speed limit and to be honest before these works you could not do more than thirty. Once the road is reopened it will be interesting to see how fast people drive now. However the work needed doing it was a hazard for cyclists as it was.
