Devon faces £800million potholes bill.

[bigpaul]

they dont relay roads down here, its cheaper to just patch them, trouble is the patch dosent last long.

[Luci_ferson]

just wish they would patch some of ours instead of disrupting the whole town every four years just to dump their excesses to ensure they get the same amount again.

---

if they did the work they wouldn't have the excesses to need to waste on a road that don't need doing.

---

but its the road all visitors into and out of the town only ever need to be on. got to keep the town looking cosmetically right, even though its falling apart.

---

looks great as you drive through , all modern.
then you go back a street and see all the big green fences that cage us all in.

---

around 8ft high bright green steel mesh fences . and gates to match.

---

youd really need to see it to believe it.
when people visit me from London they are shocked.

---

even my friends from Manchester and Liverpool think it looks like a prison.
