Bowburn services road



Please Avoid Bowburn Services Road towards Tursdale

It's reported there is currently over 30 cars stranded with most having to wait for recovery due to a large huge pot hole in the road causing damage to vehicles.

My mates a mobile tyre fitter and he posted earlier that he had a callout to there and was 3 cars parked up with knackered tyres. This was a couple hours ago like.
 
It can’t be a coincidence that a new road has failed significantly to the extent cars are damaged.

That said, the volume of water over the last two days may have washed out the substrate.

Who would be liable in this case?

It comes down to burden of proof, but at the same time, if the problem is in a new section of road or the surrounding sections are not complete, it’s up to either the designer or the contractor to design temporary works.

There’s insufficient information to make a call at this time.
