During the discussion a Member stated that in relation to pothole repairs he had reported a location over 18 months ago and no action had been taken to repair the pothole. In response the Principal Engineer Highway Maintenance stated that once a pothole has been reported the pothole is then categorised and depending on its severity, remedied within a set timeframe. He suggested that the Councillor emails him with the details of the location, so he can investigate the matter further, adding that most reports were received from Members of the public as well as inspections undertaken by the Council.
In response to a question on road markings and that a number of locations needed urgent attention, the Principal Engineer stated that given the reduced budget in this area, lining schemes were having to be prioritised.
