‘Council civil engineers have estimated that repairing every flaw on Glasgow’s road network would cost £96m.
The figure was emailed to councillors who had asked how much it would cost to fix all of the city’s potholes.’
Is this quote for fix _fix_, or to fill in with soft crap that falls apart two weeks later like they do at the moment?
Also, does this allow for Random Utility coming along and ripping the road up two days after it has been resurfaced and then leave it an uneven mess of poor patches again?
Small part of my the £6.5bn tax revenue raised through vehicle taxation. Yes, I know it’s not spent exclusively on roads, but it is generated exclusively from vehicle taxation.
I would love to know if there was ever a proper reason for the switch to putting tarmac on every possible street?
Around me is a whole estate of 1930’s homes and there are still streets they haven’t “improved” still with the concrete roads from the 1930’s and these are all residencies roads of the main trunks so if you ever get to the point of the road making too much noise your already driving far to quickly for the type of road.
Not sure how they can work out return on investment or efficiency that beats 90 years of life with no real signs of issue
My road got fully replaced at the end of summer, it’s already got a massive fuck off hole in it, and the lines are a mess
UK councils are incapable of doing a job right, they just do it cheap.
Wait till we are all driving electric cars which are around 300kg heavier. Road damage increases to the fourth power of axle weight. Better for greenhouse gases but our roads aren’t up to it.
