Even they are road users like us and should take action before an accident occurs. When Deputy P Luxton took on the helm of this department he stated his pride of maintaining a good service. I think he needs to open his eyes to the bad conditions of the roads and do something about it.A £300.000 budget for road repairs? It seems putting every department under one department does not work when it comes down to budgeting for overdue works such as the highway CHARLES G

The said pothole in question has been getting worse month By month over the last year,and Being that the said pothole is situated in one Of the Islands busiest main roads,then the Road inspector , Police ,and by the look of the Photo also traffic wardens,plus a multitude of other so called experts must of during the last year,driven over and passed this "Grange crater".So now i beg to Ask the question,why why have none of the above mentioned groups,who Could not help but of seen the "Grange crater", had the common sense to of called in about this problem,before someone especialy on two wheels had a bad accident ? (Common sense is not very common these days).So why why is it taking phone calls from us jo blogs public to Get things moving,when there are people in place being paid a fortune to keep the Islands roads safe? In all honesty its just beyond belief,and if the so called experts can not do the job professionaly,then move over and let someone Who can,do the job!
