No need. The press, police and various Govt departments all read the forums regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 the s bend before blackboards bridge on the castletown/douglas road, big chunks of the grip stuff have peeled of and if they dont get to it soon its just gonna keep escalating Agreed - quite dangerous when you're on a bike, especially in the wet. It's been like that for a long time too. I thought when they were doing work there recently painting the railings on the bridge they might have done something but sadly not. Also, at the Iron Spout (between Ballabeg & Colby) where the road was dug across to put the water pipe in a few months ago, the new patch of road that covers over it is atrocious as it is a very noticeable 'dent' in the road. There's also a nice 'dent' just after Ballagawne nurseries as you're coming from Port Erin toward Colby. It's been there as long as I can remember.

Sparky Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Top of Richmond Hill just as you go over the brow and start the descent to the Hop Garden and also just past the Hop Garden (going south). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's the problem; Hannay said no 'potholes,' which may not be far from the truth. But when you count up all the 'dents,' unintentional dips and humps, it's a different matter, with the roads in Douglas and most other parts of the island nothing short of disgraceful.

jimbms Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 In fairness I think you may find Mr Hanney said there had been no reported potholes in a period. It looks like once again a selective misquotation by our ever so efficient media here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
