Potholes reported

Prestwick miner has reported potholes on the corner at Prestwick Hall farm cottages (I refuse to call them roadside cottages)

Does no one else using the road think of reporting them. It always seems to be me that has to get action! Where is our local Councillors - We have two living in Prestwick and many others using the road.

Perhaps it is something Prestwick Residents Association could raise with our Councillors - no doubt they will be wanting residents votes soon.
