Labour town halls spend £4.24 per person a year more than Conservative councils on fixing potholes and other road maintenance, an analysis claimed tonight.
Keir Starmer’s party said the total budget Labour-controlled authorities earmarked for “highways and roads – structural maintenance” in 2022-23 was £212million.
Spread among the 21.5m people living under Labour-rule councils, it equated to £9.88 per person.
