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.
This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
