BBC LOOK INTO HOLES

Whilst the Con-Dems talk about protecting front line services the BBC asked Derby and Derbyshire Councils about their road maintenance budgets for next year. The answer was over £1,600,000 will be cut from their budgets. These cuts are despite surveys showing that road maintenance is one of the highest priorities for the public.
My tip is that Erewash folk shouldn't take this lying down. If there is a bad bit of road near you keep complaining officially, until it gets fixed. Don't let Tories claim they are more efficient when they are clearly just less effective.
