Bikes, Potholes, MAG and the Ace on BBC news

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12570143

Typical “sound bite” news item.

It would be more convincing if the BBC did an “Inside Out” London item and gave the subject ten minutes or so.

i think its good enough, especially since they saw the problem from a biker point of view.

coming back on sunday there was an entire section of the tarmac missing, on the roundabout coming back from box hill, i dont know how is that not being reported yet :w00t:

and the roundbout going to purley way, that is in a state for a few couple of years now :ermm:

Its on “inside out” tonight BBC1 7.30…

Shall be watching that thanks for the heads up.
Cheers Steve

oops, wanted to edit earlier post to add “London” not repost it :blush:

My earlier comment came back to bite my ass!

So: Watched “inside out London” and still thought it was a pretty superficial piece of flim-flam.

Pity. Could have been a good item.

Try using http://www.fixmystreet.com/ and don’t forget to point out that a biker could be injured or killed. It’s worked for me many times. Enfield council even managed to repair one bad section the day after I reported it (coincidence or good service - who knows?)

Number two on the chart (1.38 in accompanying vid) has been there for ages!! It just reappears everytime they fill it - I am convinced it just falls through to the river :wink:
