What about the risk to life & limb for cyclists & motorcyclists?
The LGA responds to a survey released by British automotive services company RAC on the state of the nation's roads:  "While councils share the frustration of motorists at the state of our roads, it is impossible to compare repairing potholes with keeping children safe and caring for our elderly.  With demand on these life and death services continuing to rise and funding from central government continuing to reduce, councils have little choice but to squeeze budgets for other services, such as maintaining our roads”.
