County Hall in Preston. Pic: Blog Preston Lancashire County Council has been blasted over a suggestion it has reverted to the practice of “blobbing” pot
Preston City Council local elections 2024 rolling results updatesLancashire County Council has been blasted over a suggestion it has reverted to the practice of “blobbing” potholes with tar, rather than carrying out more substantial repairs.
The risk traditionally associated with that process is that water can find its way in around the edges of the hole and quickly undo the repair job – leaving motorists frustrated and road workers making repeated visits to the same problem spots. “We’ve been asking questions about how the roads have got this bad – and now we know. They changed their processes 18 months ago and it’s been a disaster.
The authority is still addressing multiple potholes over broader areas – using the cut-and-seal technique – as part of the work carried out under its Local Deterioration Fund . That cash pot – which was boosted with an extra £1.5m from County Hall’s coffers just this month – is designed precisely to avoid repeat visits to deal with dud repairs.
“We use a wide range of repair methods to make sure we can repair potholes as quickly as possible – and we use the most appropriate repair to suit the location, priority, traffic and weather conditions.
