A major new report has found that almost two in every five roads across in Edinburgh are in is in need of repair.  The report also found that the Labour/SNP administration running the Council has allowed the position to get worse over the last three years.

The report from Audit Scotland found that nearly 40% of streets should be considered for maintenance.

Local council candidate, Kevin Lang said, “This is a damning report for those running Edinburgh City Council.  Maintaining the roads is one of the most basic services which a Council can provide.  Yet Labour and the SNP have let the position get worse over the last three years.

“Every week, I hear from local residents fed up with the pot holes, broken kerbs and faded markings which plague their area.  It’s simply not good enough – we deserve much better than this.  We now need to review budgets and find new money to fix our broken roads.”
