Hotham Road North potholes

John Fareham and John Abbott have arranged for potholes on Hotham Road North to be filled in. Work to carry out these repairs will begin over the weekend and is part of our continuous effort to ensure that standards of carriageway maintenance are maintained. This particular job is the result of prolonged pressure on our part and will be followed by other similar work elsewhere. We remain of the view that carriageway maintenance is a safety issue, not least for cyclists and pedestrians, and will continue to treat it as a priority. Officers may cite minimum depths for potholes to reach before they act on them; we prefer to believe the evidence of our own eyes, and of course those of local residents, and to proceed on that basis.
