A POTHOLE purge is getting under way across the Dudley borough after a £1million injection to tackle the problem was given the greenlight. Dudley Council will tackle potholes and look at resurfacing of residential roads now that extra cash for highways has been earmarked. The cash injection, approved in the council s budget proposal, will help to target around 900 extra potholes across miles of residential streets as well as some complete resurfacing of roads. Councillor Patrick Harley, Dudley Council s leader, said: I am delighted we have been able to put this extra money into the budget. We have listened to local people about what is important to them.
