IAM on potholes
Discussion
Apparently, the IAM's lobbying for more investment to tackle potholes according to their pothole blog. I'm glad they're lobbing about this, but unfortunately I don't see my local council taking any notice of potholes 
More on potholes in today's Times newspaper:
'Thousands of roadworks a year will be shifted on to pavements under government plans to cut congestion and prevent roads from being plagued by potholes, The Times has learnt.
Utility companies will be ordered to put new pipes and cables under pavements or grass verges as a default position before seeking to dig up roads.
Chris Grayling, the transport secretary, said that the change was needed because potholes were far more likely to appear on sections of roads that had been recently dug up.
Any move to lay cables under pavements will be opposed by parents’ groups and disability campaigners, who are likely to criticise reduced mobility by the roadside. However, Mr Grayling said that digging up paths instead of roads would cause “much less long-term damage” as pavements were not exposed to the same heavy duty usage.'
