Putney continue to crack up



Cromer Villas Road



...And another from Cromer Villas Road



Melrose Road



...And another from Melrose Road

I couldn't resist posting these four photos of the shocking state of the roads in this part of Southfields - among the worst I've come across - because they happen to be the neighbourhood in which Council Leader Edward Lister lives. He must drive over some of them on his way to the Town Hall!

Thank you for all the photos of your potholed streets you've been sending in - if I posted one a day I'd have enough to keep this blog running through to the Autumn. Though that's not a bad idea, I'm inclined to post a few photos a week from across the constituency. But do keep them coming - as the common adage goes: you can never have too many photographs of potholes - especially, it seems, from around Putney, Roehampton and Southfields.

In the meantime, I'm launching a new competition to come up with the collective term for potholes. "A neglect of potholes"? "A wreck of potholes"? "A council incompetence of potholes"? Let me have your ideas - email stuart.king@putneylabour.org.uk.
