Repairs!
Grange Gardens before repairs
Figures released for the last three years show Rochford received £920,000 for the last three years whereas Colchester received £3,230,000.
_
The size and population of Colchester is roughly double that of Rochford but in the last three years it has had about three and a half times more money spent on repairing potholes.
_
Chris Black, Lib Dem Rochford District councillor, said he and fellow councillors asked for Grange Gardens in Rayleigh to be added to the repair list as it is particularly bad.
_
He said: “Despite all the complaints from ward councillors and the public the county have slipped way way behind with fixing our roads, especially in Rochford. Things have got to a ridiculously bad situation.
We are pleased to report that repairs have been going on this week at Grange Gardens!
