West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin has today welcomed the confirmation that the county council has been awarded more than £6 million to fix potholes this winter. The cash, which is part of a national £420 million fund confirmed by the Chancellor in his budget last month, will be allocated to Worcestershire County Council to fix damaged roads and help with other urgent highway-related repairs. The investment in the national infrastructure is part of a wider Government commitment to help keep business moving and growing. Harriett commented: “Cold and wet weather inevitably brings road damage and it is really good to see that the Government is planning ahead to help keep our roads in a good condition. “In my experience, Worcestershire’s roads are pretty good and the processes to report a pothole work well. This cash confirmation will mean that the county highways team is able to act and repair potholes and other weather-related damage quickly and efficiently.” Road users can report a pothole by visiting http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/info/20449/keeping_you_informed_about_highways/1504/report_a_pothole
