With current Lancashire County Council leader Geoff Driver not seeking re-election, his deputy, Keith Iddon, is a leading contender for the top job if the Tories retain control at County Hall. He says that the party’s record on the roads and transport, the portfolio for which he has been responsible for the past four years, is one that it can be proud of - including an additional £10m for repairs on top of the government grant in this year’s budget.
