Potholes and loose gravel

I'm very surprised at your response at my initial report of poor road conditions on Morgan Close. It appears you have not even bothered yourselves to inspect the road to see how bad it actually is. If you're not bothered about how potholes and loose gravel on the road may cause damage to vehicles and potential accidents for motorcyclists then I expect a reduction on my council tax bill. After all, part of our taxes are spent on road maintenance, correct? Please let me know what condition the road has to be in for it to "meet the investigatory levels" you claim it should. Please also remember, you work for us, the electorate, we don't have to beg you to do your job.

Thank you for your enquiry regarding the condition of the public carriageways. For potholes on carriageways, our investigatory generally starts at a depth of over 40mm and more than 300mm in diameter. For footway defects these generally start at a difference of 20mm or greater. To further explain our overall road maintenance programme. Not all defects will be classed as safety defects since they will not be of sufficient severity to warrant action immediately. Nevertheless, we do appreciate the importance of accessibility and safety for the community. The roads and footways in your area will continue to be monitored through our routine monthly safety inspection programme or from members of the public who can report any defects to our online service Street Doctor which will allow us to log and keep a record of any future defects on our highway network.
State changed to: No further action
