Tell Me About Those Potholes

October 27, 2022 in Essex County Council

In Rayleigh North, we're coming to the end of part 1 of the member pothole repair programme but don't be sad... in a couple of weeks we get to do it all over again! 

18 luckly potholes will be repaired across Rayleigh North (pending demand) and now I need to hear about your nominations for the next tranche. If you spot any around the area please drop a photo and location (what3words preferably) over to me at jamesn@onlinefocus.org or via my FB page.
