Certainly round here (Herts) the council has been doing some massive surface dressing projects, which I agree are a false economy, however very large areas can be done at relatively low cost.
The biggest problem with surface dressing is the preparation of the surface prior to dressing including iron-work as you mention. Also contractors tend to skimp on binder to save time and money.

Hey Bud,
That sucks. However, last year I bent two of my wheels on an unfilled pothole. I was absolutely seething. What the hell do we pay road tax for?!!
I claimed against the council and in the end they ended up paying me out

I'm on the uplands, where a combination of underground springs and bad maintenence have become a joke. Even the road surveyors quietly agree with me!

I went to Ikea yesterday...
N/S route's smooth, apart from the dropped drain covers.
No-one can bloody drive though; what's the point of having an EK if you don't pretend you stole it?
