Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[crickleymal]

Knobend council ground workers that have decided that it's gonna take the 4 weeks to dig up then re tarmac the 4 bus stops on the road around my cul de sac and in the process have covered the entire road (my only exit in both directions) with various gravel and mud debris, making it neigh on impossible to ride down. My front end slipped twice already today and that was thankfully only at about 10mph.
I wouldn't mind but I'm gonna have this for a month because the lazy tossers only wanna work from 7am till lunchtime
I can't work out how they are making such a mess given they aren't even digging up the road, yet still manage to cover it all in shit.
I tell you what if I come off of my bike because of it then God help them!!

I bet it's not the council, I bet it's Amey. They seem to have the road repair contracts for most of the country. And they're bloody useless.

I've had to do battle with my council about the state of the roads. They resurfaced a road half a mile from my house about 4 years ago and it's fallen to pieces. So they came along and patched some of the holes, sometimes even stopping the repair halfway along a rut! Feckwits. They resurfaced the road outside my house. OK it needed doing but not as much as the bit of road half a mile away (same road). But apparently they can't be proactive and do the worst bit first. They are "working on being proactive". This same company underspent their budget by 4 million pounds the other year. Enough to feed the Calais camp for an entire year. Incompetant twats.
