Fix the Manchester potholes

Manchester has 8th biggest pothole problem in the UK.  This is not because of a lack of money!

Highways maintenance and ITB funding formula ...

GOV.UK

20 Dec 2023 — The Spending Review, published in October 2021, committed over £2.7 billion of local highways maintenance funding

It is not above the cleverness of the road maintenance people.

We have the technology!  And 2.7 billion should have seen all roads within Manchester fully repaired.  And it is such a basic requirement for modern life!  Not to have your car suspension fatally weakened by the undulating tarmac structure roads of Manchester.


I realise we live in credit crunch times.  When has not been a financially strapped age?  Was it is such a basic requirement for modern life.  So come on Manchester, Irish navy crews, will work for a minimum wage and a fish supper!

Surely the Manchester evening news should be publicising this crisis.  Surely the fee for salford, Rebecca Long-Bailey should be pressing this point in the houses of commons!
