These two roads have recently come to my attention from my own observations. I have had the following response from Herts Highways.
‘Cat 2’ works are permanent patching (not a simple pothole repair).
Woodstock Road South is currently scheduled for the 2010/2011 financial
year. I will pass your comments onto our asset managers who are currently
shaping the 09/10 programme to see the feasibility of moving these works
forward.
Laurel Road does not currently feature on the five year IWP at all. I will
investigate the road to establish what low CAT 2 type works are necessary
for the road.
