Reports have almost doubled
Recent bad weather has 'ripped chunks' out of Nottinghamshire’s roads with the county council saying it is 'firefighting' to bring them back up to scratch. The Conservative-led authority says reports “almost doubled” between December 7 and January 7, though no specific figures were revealed.
Data published last month showed the use of ‘Viafix’ reduced by 61 percent following the review, with the number of ‘patching gangs’ doubled from four to eight in a £15m investment last April. These are the teams at Via East Midlands, the council’s highways contractor, who conduct permanent road replacement projects on behalf of the authority.
“The feedback and the data had been excellent, and we will get back to that once we’ve finished firefighting the damage caused over the past couple of weeks. The roads are bad at the minute and, unfortunately, I can’t control the weather or the quality of work done long before I was here.
