Vicious Circle for Potholes

by Mushinshepherdsbush

04 Mar 2011

If this website is campaigning for more money to be given to Local Authorities to fix their potholes.........why does this website encourage and promote the claim culture that has massively swallowed up the resources used to fix our roads?

Unfortunately I feel this website is being used to promote the claim culture which people see as easy money and companies which promote no win no fee are making a killing.

Would people be willing too pay more tax to fix roads..........No and unfortunately this is the case which is killing our roads.

The price of oil in the middle east is making materials which resurface our roads such as DBM, HRA and SMA very expensive to produce.

My last point is that, if people chose to walk more and use public transport the savings they would make and the difference they would make to tackling congestion would actual make a difference.

Rant over...
