Owen Temple

Liberal Democrat District and County Councillor for Consett North and campaigner in Consett, Blackhill & Shotley Bridge

Alex joins in

I don’t know if Alex Watson OBE, leader of Derwentside District Council, reads this website (or whether he’d want to admit to it if he does) so he may be unaware of my “First 100 Potholes” target. Nevertheless, I have to congratulate him on notifying Durham County Council of a most impressive pothole  to the rear of Duncurin House (the old Medical Centre on Medomsley Road).

Alex’s pothole

Strictly speaking this one doesn’t qualify for my competition as it is in a back-street, but it is impressively apalling and capable of doing some serious damage.

We’re now a week into my campaign for pothole action from the Highways Action Line, and I’ve had to send a chaser since my original email is still unacknowledged. This is not a promising start.
