Conservatives to slash road repair fund by £20m

Tory county council bosses are planning on cutting £20m from the budget to fix Gloucestershire’s roads.

The Tories have been in charge at Shire Hall for 16 years and there is an £80million backlog in road and pavement repairs.

But now they are planning to spend even less money on the roads – just at the time when it is desperately needed.

  • In 2016 the Conservatives pledged to spend £150m over five years = £30m a year on the roads
  • In 2021 the Conservatives are pledging to spend £100m over five years = £25m a year on the roads

This equals £5m a year less on the Gloucestershire’s roads or £20m over the next four years.

Make sure you back your Lib Dem county council candidate on May 6th, to get a better deal for the roads in your area.
