Where I live potholes have been a problem for a long time, but it’s getting better.
The repeated projects to lay new roads has worked in many areas – step by step, I mean – and this makes a difference beyond the overall ascetic.
It’s not nice turning into a glorified trench as you visit a friend or return home (and the car doesn’t like it, either).
There are so many things wrong with decay that we try to bring it up as many times as possible in as many conversations that centre around local politics which come up.
Or at least, that is before it gets too boring to mention it again.
But what else is there that is actually interesting that just local politics covers?
Not a lot, in my view, unless it’s a problem you spotted.
It makes it real if it’s personal so it’s worth trying again to bring it up since potholes don’t go away overnight.
