Should Local Council be given pothole funding?

With councils potentially losing government funding for not meeting pothole targets, do you think this will lead to better roads?

00:00That's fair enough. I should probably get on top of that.

00:02I try to go roller skating and I just fall down the posh step.

00:07The council's corrupt anyway, so it doesn't matter how much funding they get taken away

00:12from them, they just get a bunch of things that they want, rather than actually like...

00:15They've had this money for years now to fix potholes,

00:17and when was the last time you saw a council fixing a pothole?

00:20They just stand about on the side of main roads, that's about it.

00:21It's the same with everything, they get funding and it's not going where it should.

00:24Right, even this past week there's been a massive increase in the construction work,

00:29just because the councils need to justify their funding,

00:31so they do everything just before the end of the financial year.

00:33It's all loophole, so they'll get the funding taken away from them.

00:36So there was an issue of certain potholes. I live near North Road,

00:40so there was where the Fighting Cocks is, there's that slope that goes up.

00:43That road was, I wouldn't say in bad condition, but it was deteriorating.

00:48But for the past couple of weeks there's been construction going around there,

00:52you know, redoing the entire pavement, things like that.

00:55So I think there are steps being taken to improve, at least in my area.
