Potholes prove people in Lichfield and Burntwood are being short-changed by the Government, a councillor has said.
The comments come after Labour said millions had been cut from the local road maintenance fund.
They claim the cuts mean the backlog of potholes will now take more than a decade to clear across the country.
Cllr Sue Woodard, Labour member for Burntwood North at Staffordshire County Council, said the state of the roads in the area showed more investment was needed.
“Once again, this Conservative government is short-hanging Burntwood and Lichfield.
“Potholes are the scourge of our roads – they cause widespread damage to cars and bikes.
