The street isn't "falling to bits" though. It's got some potholes, it's not disappearing into the harbour. They've patched the potholes. When money is available, and there are less pressing problems in high-traffic areas, maybe they'll consider resurfacing it.
Paranoid nonsense. I have no other accounts and have never posted on behalf of anyone or any organisation. If I'm winding people up, it's because I have a different opinion that doesn't align with the miserable glass-half-empty-and-it's-on-fire-and-broken depressive attitude.
It's a few potholes filled with Tarmac. It doesn't need to be done to a Rolls-Royce standard , and as I said, to do a huge job on it will probably involve road closures which needs time and planning. In the meantime, a bit of Tarmac in the holes isn't a bad thing, is it ?
Roads always need fixing. They're built to a budget, break down over time and get fixed on a budget. VED money isn't distributed according to who pays the rates, it all goes into a central pot with all other taxes. The money paid in VAT and VED in PSM doesn't just stay in PSM - thankfully so, since it would never cover a major project, which would need to be subsidised by the rest of the island. In these constrained times, budgets are low, so it doesn't surprise me that road repairs are down the list.
