Thanks for another interest...Comment from Bob Hill<br /><br />Thanks for another interesting Blog and mentioning my “potholes” proposition P75/2011 which the States rejected by 30 votes to 18. Apart from Simon Crowcroft the remaining 11 Connetables were among the 30. The Connetable of St Brelade who was the Minister of Transport and Technical Services used the proposed Law as a red herring to defeat my proposition.<br /> <br />At present neither the States nor the Parishes are liable for the upkeep of their roads or lanes. If through the failure to repair potholes, some one should trip and fall there is no way that the Authorities are liable. <br /> <br />The proposed Streets Works Law will not rectify the problem so if it’s dark take a torch because if you don’t see a pothole or hole dug by the Utility Companies it is your fault.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Bob<br />F.J.
