    Is the council coming to finish them off or did they just simply run out of paint???
    Seems that they have only repainted half of them.
    Cutbacks????? lol :p

    The huge potholes need repairing PROPERLY aswell and not just patching in, only for them to re-appear in a months time! It’s an absolute disgrace that we pay so much road tax and the roads are in tatters!

    Wierdly the road tax isnt road tax and hasnt been since the 1930’s or 40’s but still called it. Its a duty since then and used to be ring fenced for roads but now its pooled in.

    EDIT: this is quite an interesting read http://www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/SN01482.pdf

    I agree about the Chester Rd potholes, its the same place every year!

    Road tax was abolished in 1937. Motorists pay Vehicle Excise duty based on the pollution levels of their vehicle. Many cars are now zero rated VED.

    The council has names. Real people make decisions.

    The following councillors are responsible:
    re: THE HOMES, ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITIES SCRUTINY COMMITTEE

    Councillor David Kelly
    Councillor Andy Williams
    Cllr I David Bithell, MBE
    Cllr Bernie McCann
    Cllr Paul Blackwell
    Cllr John Phillips
    Cllr T Alan Edwards
    Cllr John Pritchard
    Cllr A Keith Gregory
    Cllr Graham Rogers
    Cllr R Alun Jenkins
    Cllr Paul Rogers
    Cllr Geoff Lowe
    Cllr Hugh Jones

    If you don’t complain to them and ask them what they themselves are going to tdo it, you are responsible for the problem.

    Let them earn their iPads!

    I know why they have only completed half of the painting – its so that learner drivers still have a challenge to navigate it easily! That roundabout was my worst nightmare back in 2006 when I was learning.

    Obviously I’m joking, it could just be that it’s more difficult to paint other sections without causing traffic disruption… But then when has that ever stopped WCBC ;-)

    Maybe they do the white lines like that because they can only purchase one tin of paint at a time due to cut backs!?
