This afternoon, Council workers were repairing potholes on the A4076 between Johnston and Milford Haven and judging by the surface, they have done a professional job.

Yesterday, I found appalling road conditions in Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion and in many places, if anything was done, it was tarmac put into the holes in what can only be a rough job as it looks like it was flattened by someone jumping on it as it was not a level surface.

Between Pentrecagal and Newcastle Emlyn, it looks as though there are several stretches where the whole surface will have to be removed and relaid and it was beyond filling a few potholes. The whole surface was close to disintegration.

Then on the road from Glandy Cross to Maenchlochog, one part of the road will no doubt have to be replaces as it has disintegrated in so many places that patching is not an option. There was also a similar situation on the road from Maenchlochog to Clarbeston Road with potholes and long stretches of the road breaking up.

Action will have to be taken soon as motorists look for the safest part of the road to navigate it. Once you get to the otherside of Clarbeston Road (on the way to Haverfordwest), a new surface must have been laid in the last year and it was bliss.

The Welsh Assembly is making £2.75m to councils across Wales, but judging by the large numbers of potholes that have appeared in the last 2 months, Pembrokeshire's share will soon be spent, no doubt.

If action is taken soon on some of the worst roads, either there will be accidents, or I wonder if some stretches of roads could be closed.

The recent severe weather has certainly caused a lot of damage to the roads and it will be interesting to know how much the Council fears it might cost. And who knows? We may have even more bad weather before spring finally arrives.
