I have been a road worker ( line painter ) and can remember when we as a nation decided to surface dress our roads rather than re tarmac. One deciding factor was obviously saving money and for that one reason we now find we have not the money to repair the damage caused by cutting corners and cost. I have been in touch with my local highways coordinator and posed this fact. I received a lengthy email in which I read utter blether.
I had pointed out that none sealing of the holes with bitumen will guarantee a repeat failure, he told me we don't seal as it causes a slip hazard to two wheeled vehicles but a NEW friction sealer is being looked at. I replied that I was using an aggregate bitumen as a seal back in the nineties of which your office approved. He has ceased to reply. So just to let those in the UK who have had it it up to here with the state of our network, the money that you paid to upkeep the roads, was used to fund a booming welfare state fronted by figures who talk shit.
They will not give any reason for why it is where it is, only blether in what they are doing. Maybe brexit will help address this crisis. People are dying now.
Oh yeah another reason is using water based oil, to save our dying planet no less. Dangerous game.
