Today I write out of sheer frustration on the situation with our potholes on our Counties roads. There doesn't seem like one short journey you can make on our roads when it is sheer 'pot luck' if you don't inadvertently hit a pothole in the road. I know, as I've just been presented with a bill from the garage for nearly £200 due to part of the suspension on our car being damaged. I'm convinced this occurred during a journey along the A130, or was it the A1245, now come to think of it, it might have been the A129....mmmmm maybe it was when I was driving through the High St. You get my drift, they are everywhere!
Speaking to a local resident recently, he told me how he hit a pot hole on the Hullbridge Road and it caused his air bags to go off! Not just one but a few of them.
Well, I've had enough of this 'dodge the pothole' game, I'm writing to our County Councillors to see if they will step up and get our roads repaired. Essex Highways May have limited funds but are we getting our share? Time to find out.
