Well the local elections have dealt a real blow to the Tories and Labour too.

Reform have swept the board with the Lib Dems hot on their heels, it wouldn't surprise me to find the Monster Raving Looney party ahead of the Tories in some seats, but what of the results, most people will argue {mainly losing politicians} that "Oh it's just a protest vote" or that Reform won't have a clue how to run a council, well they certainly can't do any worse.
As I thought the Tories are now baying for blood, namely their leaders, she will be gone within weeks and Starmer had better watch himself too he's not come out of this unscathed either.

I'm glad in a way that the voters have finally started to break up the two tier Tory Labour election battles, history tells us {well me anyway} that it hasn't worked in decades.

I've seen that done but at times none does anything else and the marks fade.
 Interested o know if it's actually finished

As bad as the roads are round here {and it's not in dispute} today we visited Matalan at Sutton in Ashfield, and as soon as you turn right to Huthwaite just past the Woodend pub the pot holes are like bomb craters, all the way into Sutton and it's been like that forever.
I personally can't see anything being done, I don't even see any pot hole repairs.

I stand corrected.

You're right in everything you say. Enough isn't being done.
Nice to see the entire bad section up from Smithy Pond towards Press Manor has been completely re-tarmaced.
Awaiting the section between Hillstown and Shirebrook to be done next. Fox Hill junction.

I stand corrected.

At the end of the day {whoever is responsible} you must agree the jobs not getting done, the years of neglect has finally caught up with them, and no amount of money they may throw at the problem now will fully restore our roads, pot hole filling is their ONLY answer.
