We all know the cost of motoring is rising. From the cost of fuel to the cost of maintaining our vehicles, it is not cheap to keep our cars on the road.
Nottinghamshire County Council's leader said as much as £200 million is needed to fix the area's roads. Ben Bradley made the claim in February after opposition councillors proposed a £20.5 million investment into the county's roads at the authority's annual budget meeting. The Independent Alliance group of councillors said it would have funded this investment partially by cancelling the investment in new Top Wighay offices. But Conservative councillors accused the Independent Alliance of a 'gimmick.'Councillor Bradley said: "The idea that £20 million would fix anything is for the birds. Truth be told, if we wanted to do the best possible job we could we'd want £200 million.
"£20 million isn't going to give us the ability to control the weather either, which is the biggest cause of recent damage. It's a bit disingenuous to suggest to residents that there is a silver bullet for the roads." But we want to know where the worst roads are.
