PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
2009 LOCAL AUTHORITY ROAD MAINTENANCE SURVEY (12 May 2009)
Motion Details
That this House is appalled at the waste and neglect revealed in the findings of the 2009 Annual Local Authority Road Maintainance Survey; is concerned that the number of potholes on England's local roads has increased by a third in one year, that there is now a 13 year backlog of maintenance work and that the annual cost of compensating victims of pothole related incidents now exceeds £53 million; and calls on the Government to come forward urgently with an action plan to restore road and pavement surfaces to a standard that is safe for users.
