Proceeding contribution from Anne Main (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Potholes and Road Maintenance.


Potholes and Road Maintenance

I have suggested that the Minister consider imposing a pothole levy on the utilities companies, but he is choosing not to look at that. He is scoring party political points, even though road users, cyclists and pedestrians are taking their lives in their hands on my roads. I really feel that that is beneath him, and I hope that he will try to answer my logical and reasonable questions about the funding formula that affects Hertfordshire and the potholes that affect my residents. Is he prepared to think out of the box, and associate funding with the damage done by the utilities companies?
