Hello
The recent resurfacing work around Long Newnton and Crudwell has been done without first repairing potholes. This is worse than if the roads had not been resurfaced at all!
I now find when cycling I am being forced by oncoming vehicles into potholes which are invisible to drivers (due to being full of road grit). As there is obviously no intention to paint white lines (the way the road boundaries used to be marked when the roads were better) the potholes should have been repaired first. Therefore the resurfacing amounts to nothing but window dressing.
This area is very close to the Cotswold Water Park; I probably don't need to point out the risk to holidaying cyclists or the implications of a rich family being forced into potholes. Failing to repair these roads properly may prove to be false economy.
