Signed.
This has become a joke. Usually at the end of the financial year, councils are desperate to spend money. The roads round Woking (Surrey) have been getting this treatment for years. Lo and behold, the road gets even more pot-holed as the flimsy treatment gets worn away.
The road I live on, with a mere 24 hours notice got "done" last year and two years before then. There was no need for it to happen the first time and nor the last time. Drains were brimming with loose chippings. Each time, this resurfacing happened at the height of summer, so the less than 24 hrs notice to park cars elsewhere were rightly ignored.
Some of the manhole covers are now at least a centimeter or more beneath this "surface" so traffic noise has increased and some folks are reporting their houses shuddering when large lorries and buses thunder over the sunken manhole covers.
It's all an f-ing pathetic waste of money.
Repair/resurface roads properly FFS!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
