We admit it – we’re obsessed with this short stretch of Church Hill. We reckon that the lane near the camera has forty eight patches (there are so many patches that it’s hard to be sure where one starts and the other ends). Surely this is a nonsense? We don’t have hard numbers to back up our belief – but forty eight patches and numerous visits must cost residents more than doing the job properly just once. What’s more, from the look of it, there’ll need to be a forty ninth patch before too long.

We’ll see if we can get a comment from our county councillors.
The County Council must pay the contractors by the square millimetre.
