From my point of view I'd rather not have my Council Tax wasted by resurfacing large stretches of country road to fill in a couple of pot holes.
On many roads it's more than a couple of pot holes, and probably cheaper in the long term to resurface a road properly rather than endlessly "make do and mend" - the filled in holes don't last long before they need repairing again. Also, pot holes are dangerous to many road users - doesn't seem like a waste of money if it reduces accidents, injuries and possibly lives.
