Bates Road, resurfaced
Image: © E Gammie Taken: 11 Oct 2010
Like many roads in Coventry, Bates Road suffered from the unusually severe ice and snow of winter 2009 and developed several potholes. The solution has been varied: some received an aerosol mark to draw your attention to the hardcore that was being revealed; others received a token dollop of tarmac which will break up after the next icy period; a lucky few, like Bates Road, got completely resurfaced.
