The local paper delved into council funding and found that their budget for footway and carriageway repairs was £1m less than it was 3 years ago.

Wandsworth blame this on the cyclical nature of funding from central government and claim that all reported potholes are programmed in for repair. However, with cars continually clunking hazardously through the damaged roads and local cyclists and motorcyclists put at risk by the uneven surfaces, we wonder whether this proliferation of potholage is perhaps due to cost cutting over repairs and botch jobs rather than proper resurfacing? Either way, Wandsworth's road users are going pothole potty.

You can report Wandsworthian potholes online here. The council are also consulting about the next 10 years in the borough. To have your say - about potholes or anything else - answer the simple survey here.
