In the week before Christmas the Department for Transport released statistics which showed that, unsurprisingly for most Herts residents, that the Roads in Hertfordshire are worse than the national average and deteriorating fast.

County Councillor Stephen Giles-Medhurst, Liberal Democrat Spekesperson on Roads said: ‘The Tories keep telling us how wonderful their Asset Management system is, but this independent research shows that they’re just overseeing the gradual collapse of the road network. The roads have got notably worse during the life of the last council. Pot hole filling doesn’t solve the problem.’

I am trying to go around the roads in Cunningham and Ashley following the snow and ice to report any new potholes that have appeared. If you know of a new pothole in your road please report it direct to Herts Highways at  http://www.hertsdirect.org/actweb/hfr/default.cfm
