Pot holes in roads

[Gramaisc]

It's not just here - they even have pot holes in Denmark.

I've just contacted the County about potholes in Tixall road, Corporation Street and ASDA roundabout. Keep reporting potholes and hopefully something will be done.

I've got Katie Melua on the case

When will the world wake up to the fact that outsourcing never works and is never cost effective in the long run?
Same as using recruitment companies. Pay someone £10 an hour, or employ him via a recruitment company for £30 p/h.

The prison is looking at outsourcing at the moment. G4S is the prefered bidder. Going on their past history this will involve a load of crims escaping and the Army being called in to staff the place.

Still, it'll give them something to do once they're mopped up Somerset.

Word reaches me that Stafford Gaol is to become a prison housing entirely sex offenders

Any idea who runs Drake Hall?

Drake Hall is still run by Her Majesty's Prison Service - for now...

I saw a bloke in a yellow, high-visibility jerkin on the Queensway a couple of days ago - with a can of spray-paint..

..it doesn't seem to have taken the edge of any holes yet, though..

Work on Queensway / Lammascote Road roundabout area scheduled to start on 9th May - details on the County Council website: http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/tra...ueensway-Lammascote-Road-Gyratoty-Island.aspx - not sure if they will do the rest of Queensway up to the new junction with the housing at the same time/

I feel like I'm in a moon buggy each time I drive around there.

They appear to have attempted some temporary filling repairs on the larger craters along the Queensway.

Probably so the Marathon runners don't fall down them and disappear forever tomorrow.

Drove home down the Wolverhampton Road the other day, not been that way for a while - completely forgot about the crater in the middle lane as you get to the end ready to join the roundabout to head around to Asda... fell straight into it...

My spine still hurts...

There were some repairs carried out in Madford Retail Parks last week that looked like they may have been done using this technique.

I think you all have completely the wrong attitude to this

Lammascote roundabout to be resurfaced next week - might be worth avoiding, if you can....

Good shout G. Trouble is, the other routes (Riverway and Corporation Street) are both very busy routes already.

For you, it's up Sandon Road and take your chance at the three-car lights at Beaconside - or risk the Parkside roadworks...

Weston Road could be interesting, if Blackheath Lane is shut, too...

risk the Parkside roadworks

not going to be an option after 16 june as it closed westbound until august 22

It's going to be longer than a week. Signs say major roadworks for 6 weeks.

It's going to be chaotic.
