"Crumbling" Roads May Close, Says Annual Survey
The country's roads are crumbling & councils don't have enough money to fix them, according to an annual survey. Northampton MP Michael Ellis says Government money is available.
The country's roads are crumbling, and councils don't have enough money to keep them in decent repair. That's the message from the Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance survey, or "ALARM". The survey is published each year by the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA), covering roads run by local Councils rather than the Major Trunk Roads and Motorways, which come under Highways England: The AIA say that unless things improve some local roads will just have to close. Northampton MP Michael Ellis says Government money is available.

Northamptonshire County Council, and the NHS, are expected to continue discussions today, after admissions to four specialist care centres in the county were suspended.
