Northamptonshire is never
going to be rid of its pothole problem, according to a local Councillor.
All Saints Councillor Michael Brown has said that there
just isn't ‘the money there’ to eradicate the pothole problem in our area.
In an exclusive interview with us, he said: “I think
potholes are getting better but I don’t think it’s ever going to a problem that
is gonna be perfect and ever gonna be solved. I just don’t think there is the
money there to do it and I don’t think there ever will be.”
“There is enough road in Northamptonshire to go from here
to India and back.”
“Monitoring that amount of road even if you had a team of
ten people on it all year round… you wouldn’t get it all done.
He went on to say that both he and County Councillor Bill
Parker go round in a car together every so often to highlight the potholes.
Cllr Brown added: “We go around in the car once every 6
months/yearish, and we have a map, mark down where all the potholes are in our
area, and he goes off to the county council, takes the map, and they do tend to
get filled in.”
