Potholes after failed resurfacing
Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later
Can I draw your attention to the road surface in kennington avenue which is now in a terrible state and frankly dangerous for bicycle and motorcycle riders.
It was recently resurfaced by the contractor Kier, unfortunately they did a very poor job and after the first warm day the road surface melted and huge chunks lifted up leaving many holes in the road surface. It is far worse now than before they started.
Can you confirm that this will be repaired and the contractor prevented from completing the same standard of 'resurfacing' on adjacent streets?
Many thanks,

I took the above photo last friday.. as you can see the road is in a terrible state. Playing Out has had to be cancelled as it it potentially too dangerous for small kids to be crawling around on the melting tar. In the hot weather over the last few days the road draws views of wonder from passer-by's at the terrible state it is in.. People with prams need to be very careful not cross over the road in certain areas. I would say the need is quite urgent as rain and more heat will damage it over the next few days

Please can the residents of Kennington Avenue be made aware of when the road will be fixed? The ‘slushy’ melted tar is a real hazard and huge chunks of road surface are being stripped off as more cars drive down it on hot days. This really need attention urgently

The wet tar is dangerous to pet's feet while crossing the road. I have had to carry a dog over this mess of molten tar , and if she gets tarred paws, I will be passing vet's bill for specialist cleaning to you.
This is just so dangerous and poorly done. Cycles are now whizzing down pavements with great danger to pedestrians.
Please fix this.

It is important that this issue be looked into and addressed immediately. The condition of the road continues to deteriorate each day and it is a danger to residents, pedestrians and motorists.

Road is still damaged and the tar stuck to tyres has smeared off all over the road markings. White stop lines at either end of the road are hardly visible.

This road is still unsafe and horrendous. It has been covered in gravel to fix previous melting tar. There are no double yellow lines which is dangerous given significant cricket events. The road needs resurfacing as a matter of urgency

The road has just had a surface seal treatment and been reopened. Now the sealer has started to lift . Also we now have a slippery road . This will cause wheels to slide and could cause an accident. I hope this can be fixed as before all this started there was no problem with the road . Please can you let me know what will be done to fix the problem that they have caused and who will pay for it to be fixed . Please email me on Stuart.creavy@yahoo.co.uk Thanks Stuart creavy

Hello, To update you following the second (or is it third now?) attempt to resurface the road. Bluntly it is in a worse condition than before any of the resurfacing works started.
The massive potholes created when the first resurfacing failed were not repaired, just sprinkled with gravel which does not hold meaning all your contractor has done is make to potholes deeper. If it wasn't such a waste of money it would be truly laughable.
I'm really not sure asking it to be repaired is a good idea as the contractors engaged by bristol city council are so incompetent they are more likely to make the road condition worse.
