Then, and now

I reported this pothole in Gwalior Road back in May 2008 - hardly the worst example of a pothole ever, and one that could easily have been put right at the time. But the Conservative Council couldn't be bothered to repair it.



Now look at it - this photo taken on Sunday - the pothole's bigger, and the problem's spreading along the road. This is called a false economy: penny-pinching two years ago by the Conservatives is now going to now cost us a lot more to put it right.

I call this poor value for money.
