The snow was very enjoyable, but it did terrible things to our roads and pavements. Now, when the pavements have finally defrosted, we can see the damage to the road surface.

Snow, then water, gets into cracks in the road surface and freezes. In freezing, it expands, forcing the crack apart. Thus Bathwick Hill has ten new deep potholes all the way from Copseland to the canal. I spent yesterday afternoon on my bike photographing them and now I’ve sent a report to BathNES highways department.
