A long stretch of road poorly repaired. Both sides of the carriage way. Very very poor to say the least

Recently the A361 has been closed for major repair works to be carried out to both sides of carriageway. This work was completed during the evening to minimise traffic problems which in turn reduces the pressure off of the contractors actually doing the work. Have Oxfordshire Highways inspected the competed works ? This is the whole problem. You have assigned contracts to external companies that are not being monitored or inspected when the work has been completed. The finished work is very poor and that is being polite. The highways will probably just allow this to go unnoticed or accept this as high quality as for now a few potholes have been filled and I appreciate you have targets to meet. The reason our roads are in such poor condition is because the highways agency continues to appoint and award the repair work to companies that have an ethos of bodge it and scarper. I guarantee you have someone who knows about construction inspect the road have someone who understands about the volume of traffic that will be using this hugely popular road and you get them to confirm that these works have been completed to even a satisfactory standard ??? It would not happen. The work is poor. The work is shoddy. The work is pathetic. The work is typical Oxfordshire Highways low standard. This is not just one pothole that has been badly repaired this is whole stretch of road that has been worked on that is horrendous.
