Solomon1 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Do it! Do it! I just love those photos. I dont think we see enough of them. Sad people pointing at pot holes? Why have I missed this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 not according to here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_finance_initiative ill not wait for my apology:roll: why not? PFI was started by the conservatives but the suceeding labour governments overdosed on the concept to finance a massive renewal of schools and hospitals without creating a lot of visible public sector debt. here's an example, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3488566/Parklands-90m-zombie-school-NO-pupils-financial-scandal-blight-children-s-lives.html dont let the stupidity of maintaining an empty school which could be put to good use deflect you from the even greater stupidity associated with the pfi schemes and the associated costs and maintenance charges.

*_ash_* Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Do it! Do it! I just love those photos. I dont think we see enough of them. I agree. They probably read this forum though to look for stories. I doubt even Cyclone's sarcastic attempt with his sad face would work. They probably see through it - Onto another thing, I drove on Crookes today and thought that the grinded road with raised ironworks is better than it was before, so I'm going to suggest that all bad roads are grinded up to improve them until fix date (raised ironed works are easier to spot and avoid than potholes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfor Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Crookes Rd being resurfaced after 7pm Interesting to see the big machinery being used The cobbles they are covering up must be worth a fair bit - all hand quarried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgeman Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I worked in Telford for my sins for 8 years and hardly ever saw a pothole!! The road where I live was littered with potholes until I e mailed the council complaining. It was resurfaced within 6 months and this was only about 2-3 years ago. Went down Halifax road mid morning today and there was a long tail back of traffic. When I got to the bottom at the Claywheels junction lane there was a lane coned off. Low and behold they were resurfacing the pavement opposite the Wednesday ground. How many people use the path on that side of thee road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It meant you couldn't get past the right turners for Leppings Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafferolli Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 The new tarmac has been down for one week and a pothole has appeared in it at the junction of Heavygate Road already. Is this a sign of things to come ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi- Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 It's nothing I wouldn't expect of SCC's approach of 'many cheap expenses is clearly better than one large expense' They may as well have resurfaced every road back to cobbled streets and saved nature the trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
