How many Reepham residents have had the unfair expense of having to buy new wheels and tyres this winter because of Norfolk County Council having failed to maintain the highways and repair the potholes on our local roads?
 
I am aware of at least FIVE instances where cars have suffered serious damage in potholes on the Reepham to Norwich roads this winter.
 
Motor cyclists could have received serious injuries, or worse if they had hit one of these potholes or struck by a car swerving to avoid them.
 
I was totally amazed by Norfolk County Council's response in stating that the road had been inspected on 16th November and was denying all liability.
 
Having reported a 1.5m x 1m porthole on 22nd January and it supposedly being repaired after a few days, imagine my total disbelief when travelling to Norwich only a couple of weeks later to see another yet another pothole adjoining the edge of the old 'repaired' one.
 
You see television programmes where private companies and individuals are harangued for shoddy workmanship, clearly a case of one rule for one...!
 
Perhaps I am being unfair and should just pay out £250 - £300 of my own money for something that clearly wasn't my fault!!! After all, as it stated on the top of the letter denying me any compensation - Norfolk County Council 'at your service'.
