Once again the Kyrewood Road splash point was raised with John Wallace, County Highways Liaison Engineer, and once again, the problem has been classified as "Not A Priority".
Despite his personal assurance in October that the problem would be fixed, he now says there is insufficient funding available.
It seems that it is OK to repeatedly, do temporary repairs and then "Hot Patch" the area every spring, only to have the work undone, by standing water after every rainfall.

Is a Council Officer really allowed to mislead a Council? If they are, what is the point in them coming to a meeting?
I just can't understand why they keep leaving this job. I'm no expert, but if you have an area where a puddle always forms, it will always get damaged when there is a frost. They have to repair the damage (several times a year) so why not fix the problem. It doesn't even look (to an outsider) like a major job. Just move the drain to the lowest point?
Cllr Reg Farmer has a letter in the Advertiser saying Tenbury's roads are the best in the country.
Cllr Farmer said "The streets and pavements of Tenbury are without question the best maintained in the country by a very dedicated council employee" That must be Richard, who sweeps the road on behalf of Malvern Hills District Council (and does a wonderful job. By confusing maintenance (cleaning) with maintenance (repairing) he told the truth the way only a true politician can.
Perhaps he should fill the potholes up with leafs that he sweeps up .The roads are a disgrace !!!
