In one of my regular review meetings with the Chief Executive of Wokingham Borough Council last week I raised the issue of potholes again.
I asked her to make sure the policy of the government and the Councillors to get the potholes filled is carried out. I lobbied the government for extra money, and the government did announce additional monies for Councils including Wokingham and West Berkshire specifically for potholes, on top of the annual sums sent for road maintenance. I reported this at the time on this website. I do not know of any Councillor seeking to block this.
We know the Council has some money for this purpose, so will they please spend it on a clear priority of the public.
