Remember that Evingar Road pothole that Hampshire County Council had claimed they had fixed – but hadn't? Previous article: FIXING THOSE POTHOLES
After apparently carrying out the work, saying they had fixed the pothole, it STILL looked like this:
I decided to follow up this unacceptable misinformation with our County Councillor Tom Thacker.
I was pleased to receive the following response:

Dear John,
Having had a look at the photograph on your attachment, highway engineers have located the pothole in question... [and] ...this morning have raised an order for the pothole to be repaired.
This should be done by Monday 24 March at the latest. (my emphasis)
Kind Regards
Tom T

It is now April 12th and have Hampshire carried out the work as Councillor Thacker had promised?
NO.
This picture was taken TODAY, 12th April, - compare it to the one above:
Nothing – zilch - has been done. Zero; nothing.
This pothole and road surface is potentially lethal and could easily throw someone off a cycle or motorbike, and could possibly damage motor vehicles too.
In fact it is now getting worse with considerable amounts of loose grit now being thrown on to the pavement and a further hole developing.
Hampshire County Council continue to claim to have fixed it while road users lives continue to remain at risk.
Meanwhile we are also paying for our roads to be maintained.
