BUDGET 2010: £100 million to fix UK potholes
25-03-2010
This year's budget has seen the Chancellor assigning £100million to be spent on filling potholes in England, Scotland and Wales.
Following probably the most severe icey conditions experienced across the nation for years, in January and February, the state of many UK roads has been more than evident.
More and more websites, forums and news items tell an ever-increasing number of tales describing some roads as hell for motorists. Despite this allocation, it is still reported that 75% of councils suffered such severe road damage that repair costs could be estimated at £400million, with over 11 years to tackle the backlog.
