Always seems to me that most potholes are ultimately caused by utility companies who dig the road up for whatever reason, and then leave it in a very poor condition with a very primitive level of tidying up after they've gone.
Road surfaces might be better If councils and authorities forced the gas/electricity/water companies to ensure that when they carry out any work, the road is left in a good condition and not just "repaired" by throwing a bit of tarmac and a few pebbles onto the hole which was dug. Then the "repair" won't start falling to pieces a few weeks later. They seem to be able to get away with non-existent standards of workmanship.
How often have we all seen a recently rersurfaced road which as been ruined a few weeks later by gas/water who come to make their mark on it.
