Potholes in Cowick | Spot the difference 2

I've already commented on the state of potholes along Bowhay Lane

However, it seems that although they looked similar and were with some 50m of each other, the one at the junction with Merrivale Road has been permanently patched and the other near the junction with Surbiton Crescent has not. This despite the order for both to done at the same time.

Basically its everything on the left hand side as you drive along Cowick Lane and Buddle Lane from after the allotments through to Iselworth Rad (left hand side as you go up Isleworth Road). Hope that helps!
