    Highways to hell

    Is it just me or are the state of some Borehamwood roads, such as Aycliffe Road, just beyond repair.

    Why resurface the road and stop where it needs doing the most?

    I bought a new car last May and the pot holes are so bad I have had to have its tracking checked four times.

    I have complained to Hertfordshire Highways, but all they tell me is that the road surface is subsiding.

    Maybe if we all complain it may be repaired?

    Unfortunatly, the budget for repairing roads is not based on need, but who you voted for. If you have a Labour MP and/or a Labour council, you will be rewarded by getting a bigger council grant.
    However, even Labour areas are now under threat from what has become the "anti-motorist" party. If every penny Gordon Brown took off motorist in tax was put back in to the roads, we would have the best in Europe.
