Reads like they genuinely couldn't care less. Just another fuck up at the office

I wonder if this is the shite method they used on Somerset road the week before last. There was a lot of cracking and crazing. Now they have blobbed a great lump of tar over vast areas to cover these. 

Where there once was potholes has been replaced by a massive lump of tar and gravel. If you come down by car it's bumpy. If you come down by bike it's downright dangerous. Depressions in the road replaced by big lumps and bumps. It's not even level.

"Bleeding of the emulsion appears to have occurred. This can occasionally happen and is caused by excessive moisture in the pothole/cracked surface or rainfall during the process."

Accompanied by a photo of them literally filling up puddles of water with tar! Amazing 👏

they didn't actually do the puddle covered bits of the sartfield road when they did the resurfacing last week so there are quite a few stretches of it that haven't been done.

It's a shite bodge-job process that they've been playing around with for a good couple of years now. The repairs effected have a life expectancy of about 2 weeks before traffic rips it all out again leaving chippings everywhere, it was applied in a good number of places around Ramsey and the results were as above. A total waste of time, money and resources but it's a toy for the boys to play with and makes it look like DOI are doing something.

This was I think the day after Tynwald. To celebrate our national pride (not the gays), some cad had placed a little manx flag in each of the pot holes on laxey prom. At least it got a response.
