David Morris MP tabled a parliamentary question last Thursday to ask if an assessment had been made as to the condition of local roads. Potholes in the constituency is one of the main Council issues which are raised with David Morris MP.
In response to David Morris MP’s questions Transport Minister Andrew Jones said:
The Government fully understand how important it is to have a reliable quality road network, which is why we are providing a record £6 billion for local highways maintenance. We have also created the pothole action fund with a budget of £250 million dedicated to delivering better journeys.
Speaking after receiving the response David Morris MP:
‘One of the largest mailbags I receive on Council matters is regarding the state of our roads locally, you only have to drive through the Constituency for a short distance to come across a piece of road which is in serious need of repair. I would urge Lancashire County Council to tap into the millions of pounds which have been set aside for potholes to make much needed repairs in the area. The money is there from Government waiting to be spent’
