Overview
- Horsham Close residents say the street has not had a full resurfacing since 1983 and is now potholed, uneven and repeatedly patched.
- The latest ALARM survey reports an England-wide average resurfacing cycle of 103 years, which the council references to explain constraints.
- Cllr Andrew Gant says limited funding drives a risk-based approach that prioritises safety inspections and higher-use roads over low-traffic closes.
- A council spokesperson notes nearby Sussex Drive was resurfaced and urges people to log defects with photos via Fix My Street for quicker action.
- Locals and Cllr Andrew Crichton highlight unfinished patches, water pooling and unmarked potholes, yet no commitment has been made to fully resurface Horsham Close.
