So many Potholes

[Mayor_Houchens_Underpants]

Not seen the roads in such a bad state post Winter for ages. Potholes everywhere. All ready had one cracked alloy and find that you are looking at the road surface more rather than as far ahead as possible. Perhaps if the Council had to pay for repairs to cars then things might get repaired sooner.

It’s been the same for years and is an issue all over the country. Potholes can be used to demonstrate 14 years of Tory government. It’s what happens when central government deliberately underfunds local government.

Pointless blaming councils, point the finger at Central Government.

If numpties hadn't voted Tory governments in for so long it wouldn't have happened.

It's a visual sympton of a Tory government.

When I cycled to work and the Tory cuts were biting, my local council used to switch the lights off on the B-class roads at 10pm [to save electricity!]
There were enormous potholes and cracks in road surfaces that I would regularly find the bike hitting, because you couldn't see them all, even with a strong front light. It was [still is] like living in the "dark ages". If you don't invest and upkeep the infrastructure, we get what we all experience today. Now what was all that crap about reducing debt by cutting public spending.....

Infrastructure pays for itself too.

Instead of moaning about it why don't you do something about it and vote for a party with a plan ?

Scrap road building to pay for fixing potholes, says Green Party

Party's transport spokesman tells Cycling Weekly that the big issue with potholes is vast sums of money stripped from local government budgets

I’m sure the council will find a way of charging us extra for pleasure of repairing them.

That’s the thing though. It isn’t about party politics. Local authorities are responsible for roads (unless major routes) and they’ve had their budgets gutted by the scum Tories.

Potholes are the visual representation of austerity. Fund councils properly and things like road maintenance will be back again.

I will look forward to that happening after the next election and the potholes get repaired

Don’t vote Tory and there’s a chance it might just happen.

You really are a constant tory shill in one way or another.

I suppose you agree with the current murderous regime, good for you, but for gods sake, own it.

Thanks

You may fool some posters. Well done.

Yes, but when the HS2 money comes through it’ll all get fixed, obviously

Lights on B-Roads? Very extravagant.
Whereabouts is that?

Quite happy to take a photo of my voting slip for you when the time cones

While you're getting your photographic device out in the voting hall, why not also shout out to everyone in the room "I'm definitely NOT a Tory". Everyone will rejoice I'm sure.
