Despite the financial situation the council’s annual summer road maintenance programme goes ahead and from the end of July and through August the following Tilehurst roads are due to be repaired.

Major Repairs:
Westwood Glen
Norcot Road (by junction with Pottery Road)
and The Meadway (New Lane Hill to St Michaels Road) if the money holds out.

Minor Repairs:
Armour Road
Halls Road

Footpaths:
Beverley Road

Needless to say there are many other roads that need at least minor repairs but the budget only strateches so far.

Not all repairs are effective, witness the large pothole in Walnut Way which was filled in last April and a few months later just re-appeared.
Whether it was down to the high rainfall and storms over the last few months or whether it was just shoddy work by the contractors I do not know but such work does not represent good value for money.
