“Ridiculous waste of public money”: Chad reader hits out at repainted white lines on Mansfield roads
A Chad reader has shared photos of newly painted white lines on Southwell Road, as one image shows white lines applied over potholes, which has been criticised as a “ridiculous waste of public money”.
A concerned resident from Chad has raised issues regarding the newly repainted white lines on Southwell Road in Mansfield.


After fresh lines were installed last week, the resident shared photos and criticised the work as a “waste of public money”.
He pointed out that the white lines have been painted over potholes and uneven drain covers, arguing that this reflects “poor financial management”.


Nottinghamshire County Council has been approached for a comment in response to the images.
The council is responsible for the maintenance of highways, including Southwell Road in Mansfield.
