| Ealing spends on average £450,000 fixing potholes every year. That is an incredible amount, considering it is consistent every year. We all know the state of the roads and pavements and how important they are, for safety if nothing else. My daily commute is through five boroughs and I’ve found the roads closest to home to be the worst. Only recently I had to have a wheel repaired due to some terrible potholes around Ealing Common and Acton. My main concern is the fact that these repairs are ongoing. We and the council should be avoiding or mitigating against potholes recurring in the first place. So many times I’ve seen holes fixed, roads relaid, and new pavement slabs installed only for them to be in pieces only a few months (sometimes weeks) later. Surely the answer is to stop roads breaking up in the first place and use that money for better things. |
