Readers have been making their views known after Nottinghamshire County Council’s leader said as much as £200million is needed to fix the area’s roads. Councillor Ben Bradley made the claim after opposition councillors proposed a £20.5m investment into the county’s roads at the authority’s annual budget meeting.
As reported earlier this week, Cllr Bradley said: “The idea that £20m would fix anything is for the birds. Truth be told, if we wanted to do the best possible job we could we’d want £200m. £20m isn’t going to give us the ability to control the weather either, which is the biggest cause of recent damage.
“It’s a bit disingenuous to suggest to residents that there is a silver bullet for the roads.” We posted his comments on our Facebook page - and people were keen to comment.
