Get our roads sorted in Derbyshire
Repair all roads in the county to make them safe again. They are now in the worst state possible and are very dangerous.
Why is this important?
Our roads are ranked among the worst in the country.
After dark it is almost impossible to go out without hitting a dangerous pothole. During the day drivers trying to steer round potholes take their eyes off the road ahead which endangers other road users. Locally, there are roads known as "Pothole Alley". On these there are so many potholes that it is impossible to get down the road without going into potholes. This has caused damage to my car over the last two years which has cost me hundreds of pounds.
The local council has allocated extra funds, so what is happening to that? They do patch up the odd one here and there but I have seen one place where they patched a pothole but left two close by which were worse than the one they actioned.
Please get this sorted before someone is killed or seriously injured.
