POTHOLES
The condition of the county’s roads is one of the top priorities in each of the party’s campaigns, with Labour claiming it is the number one issue on the doorstep and the Conservatives saying that unparalleled investment will soon show through.
Keith Iddon: “We’re on top of the job. If we were to resurface all the roads in Lancashire, we’d need £500m – we haven’t got that, [but] we have got a record amount this [year], £48m. The government has given us more than ever and we have put more in than any other [county] administration has done – we have invested £318m [in highways over the last four years]. I’m proud of our record [on the] roads – and you’ll see a big improvement shortly because of the investment we’re making.”
