Conservatives have neglected “roads across Staffordshire and let the community pay the price” say Lib Dems
Data reveals that in the 12 months between 2021/22 there were 20764 potholes across Staffordshire, some being left for days before being fixed.
The Conservatives have overseen cuts to our transport network, maintenance works delays and the decline in the state of our roads across the board. The Liberal Democrats promise £300m investment to fix roads. They would redirect some of the money in the existing budget for new roads to local councils to ensure road maintenance and improvements are properly funded. This could equate to around 1.2 million potholes being repaired each year. Only the Liberal Democrats have a real plan to fix the state of our roads by giving the money to local councils, who know their roads and are best placed to fix them.
