FILL THE POTHOLES CAMPAIGN

March 2, 2010 3:37 PM

Pothole in roadNick Harvey MP is encouraging members of the public to report North Devon's potholes caused by the bad weather online at www.devon.gov.uk/pothole or by phoning 0845 155 1004.

Chris McCarthy, Executive Director of Environment, Economy and Culture, Devon County Council, recently told Nick: "The recent spell of severe weather has caused a significant increase in potholes on the County's roads being reported by the County's Highways officers and members of the public. As a result the council has deployed 26 inspect and repair gangs working full-time across the County to repair defects on the roads."

Nick says "This is good news though I am concerned by the rate of repairs. DCC need to get on top of this problem quickly, the extreme weather has taken its toll and the degradation will only get worse once the tourist season starts."

Acknowledging problems on North Devon's roads Chris McCarthy added: "We are warning drivers to take extra care to avoid potholes on all roads and particularly those they use regularly, until the unprecedented numbers of potholes we are experiencing are repaired."

    If you are a resident of the North Devon constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.

    • If you agree, Nick Harvey MP, the Liberal Democrats, and their elected representatives may use the information you provide to contact you about issues you may find of interest. Some of the contacts may be automated. You can opt out of these contacts at any time by contacting us.
