I do like to drive on nice new tarmac so we don't have to be like terminator scanning for intel/potholes to avoid but not at the expense of repairing existing roads and making nice the roads we have that should have priority especially when resurfacing a road that doesn't need doing, I’ve noticed this a few times now,
A4071/A45 Ansty park area from M6 onto A46 don't know maybe there was an accident?? Fosse road compton verney area/cotswolds couple of years ago didn't really need doing but was done anyway
I'm sure you're busy but why waste time/resources/our money resurfacing roads that don't need doing case in point A4071..But roads that do need doing don't get done...
I'm increasingly dissatisfied and i'm sure others are too but don't have time to message their thoughts neither do i really but taking time out todo so.. life is stressful enough... Shame we have to put up with what life throws at us and idiot drivers on roads and HS2 and poor road maintenance decisions etc etc etc
Maybe You could focus on cleaning up the roads that we have with the road sweepers, filling potholes, clearing foliage from road signs that are obscured, not spending two weeks resurfacing 4071 road didn’t need doing the 4071 was fine not brilliant but fine... So long as you don't have to swerve/suddenly/change of direction onto oncoming traffic to avoid potholes on the main driving line...
When you look at the state of the roads around A45/A4071 i.e. In general the area is pretty rubbish but could be made nice, quite easily...
The slip road/going over the bridge, holes on the slip road onto the A45 w/b by robertos
Pathway too, tidy up going over the bridge to A45 w/b
Lawford Heath lane Junction onto slip road mega holes
Coming off the A45 e/b onto the 4071 from Coventry the amount of grit/dirt/debris on the side of the road as is within the whole area tbh
Atlesat you didn't surface dress it, that practice should be banned. its just not acceptable unless done properly ie remove the loose grit off the road immediately reducing damage my car, damage to another oncoming car or a car behind me from loose gravel... Signage should be put up to give motorists time/notice so they can avoid
There are compaines out there that do do it properly
Aside note... M69 hard shoulder, so much gravel/debris, if its dark/wet/rainy you skid also debris damage to other cars and your own car as you slow down/speed up
Thankyou
