After a £10 million overspend, the Conservatives who lead Essex County Council have decided to not fix potholes unless they are more than 50mm deep (the current standard is 25mm) and to wait much longer before fixing them.
You can read more here and here. Check out our pothole gallery here.
Please sign our petition to make the Conservatives think again.
To County Councillor Norman Hume, Portfolio Holder for Highways and Transportation, Essex County Council.
We, the undersigned, call on Essex County Council to drop its proposals to allow potholes and footway trips to get larger, and remain for longer, before being repaired, and to stop cutting the Highways maintenance budget.
