A lot of it is to do with the weather. Until permanent repairs can be made, the ambient temperature must rise and we must have a spell of clear weather, otherwise the tarmacadam won't settle properly and before you know it the road will be torn up again. They can add an expensive additive to the mixture to help it set in the cold weather but this will only increase the overall cost and it isn't really necessary given the prolonged cold weather spell we had was deemed to be very improbable.

If there are any serious pot holes that you believe can damage to cars, contact the council and they'll make temporary fixes to the roads.
