We have several potholes that have appeared on the Lane outside the front garden so Simon bought a bag of instant repair to see how easy it is to use and how effective.

Sadly the tamper he also bought has not arrived due to not actually being in stock (grrr) so he made one out of wood – it was reasonably effective and so the main hole is now filled and is “drying” – so far so good.

After the holidays Simon will buy another 25kg bag (approx 15ukp) and complete the task of filling the remaining holes – will wait for the tamper though as it will invariably make it easier overall.
