12 February - Credit where it is due
Bexley
Council fixed a Brampton Road pothole only two days after it was
reported here on 25th January.
Now they have come up trumps again! The one shown here was
featured on Wednesday 4th February
and the following Monday it was repaired.
I have only seen it from a passing bus but it looked to be a pretty good job.
My regular trips to Bromley and back show one thing very clearly. While both
boroughs are less than brilliant for potholes, in Bexley it is possible to find smooth roads
because there is a programme for resurfacing but in Bromley I see none. The roads
I use are nothing but a patchwork of lumps and bumps everywhere.
Perry Street just South of the A20 is in a dreadful state, a little worse than
Bexley’s Danson Underpass where the potholes are avoidable once you know where
they are. Despite that, Bexley plans to resurface the Underpass next month while
Bromley is content to continue shredding tyres.
Bonkers. Better than FixMyStreet!
