Sir Keir Starmer is telling councils to prove they are tackling potholes or face losing the cash to fix them. The Prime Minister said councils need to "get on with the job" of fixing potholes as he announced an additional £4.8 billion of funding to carry out work on motorways and major A-roads.
The article from LBC discusses Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's criticism of the Conservative government's handling of local council finances, particularly in relation to road maintenance. Starmer highlighted that local councils are struggling to fix potholes due to insufficient funding, which he claims is a direct result of government cuts. He pointed out that the government has been accused of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" by reallocating funds meant for other services to fill budget gaps, thereby neglecting essential infrastructure like roads. Starmer's comments come in the wake of a £200 million fund announced by Transport Secretary Mark Harper to tackle potholes, which Starmer and other critics argue is inadequate and merely a short-term fix. This situation has led to widespread frustration among local authorities and residents, with many councils facing financial difficulties and unable to maintain basic services effectively.
