MUCH as been written about the pot holes in our roads.

Durham County Council can’t be held responsible for all the holes. The high costs of repairing the roads should be shared by the many services who break up the surfaces – telecoms companies, gas, water and electricity public utilities that put cables in the road and fail to maintain the manhole covers which sink after a while.

Roads should be repaired properly – not merely patched up as cheaply as possible.
