MAG slams pothole funding

Riders rights group the Motorcycle Action Group has repeated a call for more spending on road repairs, following a damning ALARM report from the Asphalt Industry Alliance. MAG director Colin Brown said: “Motorcyclists are the road users placed at most risk by poor road surface condition. Voting in a new local councillor is not going to make any difference to the problem if they do not have more funds to spend. Long-term underfunding is to blame, and we need MPs and a government that is prepared to do what is necessary.”
