Devon County Council intends to “relax” the rules about when potholes must be filled.
” … Potholes in the county will now be assessed based on where they are in the road and whether they are a “danger” or a “serious inconvenience”, says the report.
It also proposes that the “defect classification” for road markings is to be “relaxed”, senior Conservatives heard.
Liberal Democrat opposition leader, Alan Connett, called it “another assault on Devon’s roads and motorists”.
“Now they’re looking at whether it’s the right type of pothole to be eligible for repair, they want to take longer to repair the pathways and slacken the classification for repairing road markings,” he added.”
