Early intervention gets dangerous Clermiston Green pothole filled

Following several complaints from residents in the Clermiston area earlier this month over the size of the pothole at Clermiston Green, I took immediate action by informing the Council's Roads Services department on 7th January.

Below is the reply:

Dear Mr Brown

Thank you for your email.  Please accept my apologies for the delay in providing you with an update.

On receipt of your original email the Roads Officer inspected the defects identified in your photos.

Arrangements are being made for repairs to be undertaken.

Kind regards

Annie

With the high cost to the Council and taxpayer in pothole compensation claims, prompt attention and hopefully prevention rather than cure can be put into action here.

From the photos, you can see that whilst the reported pothole at the top has been fixed (photo on the right) there is still more work to be done.  I will continue to keep the pressure up on the Council to get our roads up to scratch.
