Fill that hole: Report pothole hazards on your routes - fix potholes

I nearly came a cropper this evening by a pothole in puddle combo, off to report it now.

I had an annoying follow up email the other day from Lewisham council saying Honor Oak road isn't a priority this year. It's a fucking hazard cause it's so busy, fix it you gits!

The Council has recently (in 2012) completed a detailed structural condition survey of all its roads (this was last completed in 2001). Data from this survey has been used along with information from our regular visual inspections, and a number of other factors, to develop the resurfacing list. The number of roads resurfaced each year is dependant on the amount of funding available each financial year. I'm afraid that Honor Oak Road has not attracted sufficient priority to be included in this year's resurfacing list.

We do safety inspect every adopted highway on a regular basis. Any area which the inspector thinks may become an imminent danger to users is noted and a repair arranged. Unfortunately the Council's budget for highway maintenance is limited and we focus on repairing the worst areas in the borough. We do not currently have the resources to repair areas that are simply worn and unsightly, but not considered hazardous at this time. Our inspectors will continue to monitor the condition of this road and will arrange for any necessary repairs to be carried out.

If you note any particular defects please let me know giving a precise location and I will arrange an interim inspection.

I hope this is helpful.
