More short change from council tax payers.

After proving that cycle lanes that we pay to be gritted are left
untouched as shown here -

The Cycle touring Club's "fill that hole" page
http://www.fillthathole.org.uk/league-table shows that out of 211 Local
authorities Hull is ranked 163rd with only 27% of dangerous potholes
reported through the CTC as being repaired. Is this the sort of
"success" that Hull should be proud of?

Apparently, the Council spokesman was unavailable for comment :-/

How did they manage to grit the road & miss that bit at the side?
More likely is that that bit is not used & so the snow does not get
cleared by traffic.

Potholes not getting repaired, trust me it's not just potholes in cycle
lanes.

I reported an enormous pothole to the council. It took them 3 months to
fix it.

That'll be because cyclists are freeloading-spongers who wearing pink lycra.

In fairness, I think the photo shows that though the road has been
gritted, motorists haven't driven in the cycle lane to break down the snow.

Had that been true, then why wasn't the centre of the road lanes snow
bound where the cars' underside would pass over it without breaking it
up? More likely is that the salt had been spread over the car entire
lanes and melted all of the snow. Had the cycle lane been salted, the
ice would have melted away.

Because enough overtaking (as evidenced in the photo) has taken place to
break it up there too?

When driving in snow, I make a point of driving a little into the
un-cleared areas to help clear them.

The salt/grit does need traffic to help it work. you don't think the
gritters are *so* precise do you?

ffs

I suspect that the whole width of the road was gritted. Or did you
think that the workmen had some contraption which stopped any sand and
salt going in the cycle lane?

You really do get worse.
