Terrible State of Ealing Road and South Ealing Road

It cannot have eascaped anyones notice about just how bad the road surface has become on Ealing Road from more or less the High street right up to Popes lane with the bit between the railway and Murray Road being dreadful. It's really bad to cycle on especially in the wet when the myriad of potholes are hidden by water,. But it is turning the bus ride into one of pure discomfort.I'm sure this is why the services fail so often at the junction of the A4 as every vehicle is bouncing about creating shock waves into the surface.Why is it this road never seems to get properly resurfaced?

Ealing road has been uncycleable (new word?) for at least the last 50 years, my cycle life. It has ofcourse been resurfaced in that time but, also ofcourse, immediately, dug up and poorly filled by utility providers. Me I use Claypond's Ave ( & foot/cycle path). Signed .... The lowest form of road user, a gutter rider, a crank,  .....  a cyclist.

I'm sure it was mentioned that it was due for resurfacing last october.It's more in need of rebuilding, I counted over 74 patches in the surface viewing from the top deck of a 65 just between the A4 and Popes lane!The rain of late really has revealed how dangerous it is for cycles of all sorts the potholes and ruts are hidden by huge puddles and it is in a right state and your right awful on the bus. Not helped further up with those speed humps in South Ealing which send everyone flying.
