@fesshole Is this a fess or just good advice? 🤔

@fesshole Also a good indicator of a badly financially managed council. If they do this, or jump as soon as a cllr complains rather than stick to their policies for repair they are probably headed for insolvency, there just isn't the money to divert resources on a whim.

@fesshole painting cock-and-balls on them, adding dolls, or humorous signs is another option: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-65623391

@barnesmaurice @fesshole But what about all those funds that were promised to fix the blasted holes?
"£1.6 billion investment to tackle scourge of potholes to be delivered to councils from next month as PM tells councils to put cash to use" - 23rd March 2025.
Yet what do they do? Throw in some asphalt, tamp it down, job done. It's usually back to a hole in a few weeks, a month if you're lucky. We have one that has had 6 repairs and it's still a gaping maw in to the depths of the earth...

@richrockster @fesshole Temporary fix over full reconstruction, deals with the symptom of carriageway failure until it's uneconomical to patch further. Highways can and should be regularly inspected for condition and future work budgeted for years in advance. Likely a lot of roads ready but not enough funding to carry out all of the work so triaged until they do.
