Re: One-man campaign to tackle potholes –
It might have been better if the council had resurfaced the road itself rather than just continually fixing potholes waste of taxpayers monies considering the time and effort and manpower to just fix a pothole for it to b washed out once it has rained again and then having to fix it again.
Pothole fixers are only a bandaid.

Couldn’t Agree more with this report.Council should use Sand on top of newly repaired potholes (like it use to be done) to allow time for asphalt to cure and compress properly, otherwise wheels going over it will simply pick out small particles and allow water to re-enter the pothole, resulting in another dangerous hole within weeks usually.
drivers on Hillview Street are adapting to the pot holes. Heading to Umina , cross the yellow line to avoid potholes. Heading to woy woy stay close to the kerb.
A council agent told me that Palm Valley Rd will be re-surfaced in the next 3-4 years!!
but i see council workers almost every week filling and refilling (and refilling again…) the potholes which to me is a waste of money.
Can you imaging the number of accidents due to maneuvers by drivers to avoid holes, tyre changes and car repairs ??
