 |
|
I plan to go back to Wandsworth for the BS they told me about fixing the holes on Priory Lane
Have any been fixed? heading in this morning it looked like two of the drains on the southbound mid section had been sorted?

| Did not seem to bad to me. Couple of shallower dips but nothing the old winter Ribble can't handle! |

| from my trip last night I think they'd tackled 2 holes, a start, but a pretty useless one. |

| On my way home last night I counted at least 6 holes remaining all of which could at least give you a puncture, if not a hernia. It's fine if you've got room to go round them, but with cars steaming past at 40 mph it can get dodgy. I suppose if we complain we will be told we should be using the cycle path ... |

Watch out for the big crater developing around the drain cover just after you turn off the Upper Richmond Rd towards the park - I think it's between the first 2 speed bumps.
They seem to have filled the worst 2 holes half way down but the rest of the surface is getting worse.

Not at all. They have to fill them and we are not oblidged to use the crappy paths. FilThatHole! It works. The more the merrier.

| Thanks for the input, Bryony Evens from Wandsworth Cyclists and I have picked this up with a number of people within the council, local councilors and Putney Society's transport panel. |

| Some of them have been filled, but probably only about half! |

| Personally I'm wondering how many have just about crashed into that huge hole at portsmouth Road at Seething Wells. |

| I dont think the priory lane cycle path is crappy - one of the more useful ones in my opinion. Doesn't excuse the potholes I know. |
