Letter: Potholes - 'We have little faith that any repair will follow'

For at least the second time in recent years our pot-holes have been identified, outlined with the magic white paint, and numbered. But no repair has subsequently been made.

In our road, the magic pot-hole paint is fading again. Our pet pot-hole, opposite our gate, is a rectangle, 4m long, and numbered 42. At the next repaint, if there is one, it is likely to have become at least number 50 from the east end of the lane. But we have little faith that any repair will follow.

Is there anywhere in this county where the magic pot-hole paint works and pot-holes are filled? What is the secret?
