The man in charge of Bristol’s roads has reassured residents of Bedminster that the worst bits of a pothole-covered roundabout will be fixed - but wouldn’t say when.
Cllr Don Alexander took a potshot at the ‘pothole selfie’ local councillors, who complained last week that the state of the broken road surface of the mini-roundabout junction at the end of North Street in Bedminster was so bad it was a danger. The local councillors from three different South Bristol wards came together to call for action on the roundabout - something Cllr Alexander didn’t take that kindly to in his response.
The Green councillors from Southville, Bedminster and Windmill Hill wards said they and local residents have been reporting the state of the mini roundabout outside the Steam Crane pub at the junction of North Street, Dean Lane and Cannon Street for more than a year, and although the worst of the pitted and broken road surface has been sprayed with pink paint, the councillors have been told there are worse roads in Bristol which are going to be fixed first.
