00:00The government should do as much as they can to help councils, you know, all councils are struggling.
00:04We have a lot of potholes, people drive in them, they wreck your cars.
00:07I do think that councils should spend more money on them.
00:09However, if it's a case of school funding or pothole funding,
00:13I think we can just learn to drive round them for a little bit and then try and make that money go further.
00:17They're everywhere, literally every single road that you're on, especially around Hyde Park where I am,
00:21there's so many, I think even at home as well.
00:24The potholes in West Yorkshire generally really are awful, they're everywhere.
00:30The road seems to be getting worse rather than getting better, in my opinion, with regards to the potholes.
00:35And I think that, again, it comes down to the economics and finance and prioritisation of the money.
00:42But I think a lot more work needs to be done in order to save our roads and make them more safer for public use.
00:49I've had a car incident, completely knackered the suspension because of poor roads in Norfolk.
00:55I don't think councils should pay for your garage bill.
00:58If you can prove it, yeah.
