How many times does Durham County Council repair potholes before realising that perhaps a better job would save money. Well, looking at this bit of Featherstone Road in  Newton Hall it would seem that at £30 every time they repair a pothole, several hundred quid might have been spent by our esteemed Labour run council on bog standard fixing jobs at this location.

We were promised that proper jobs would be done to save money. Indeed the Lib Dems in the Coalition Government provided millions of pounds extra to the council to get these kind of repairs done properly.

Let’s see how many more slabs of tarmac are chucked on the road before this one is done properly.
