EALING COUNCIL take action. Hounslow Council say wait until 2013 Nearly £700,000 will be spent straight away to introduce new specialist ‘drive-through-and-fix’ crews to deal with potholes. Under the scheme eight specialist teams will sweep through the borough over seven weeks to find and fill them. The plans were unveiled at a meeting of the full council on Tuesday 2nd February. ”We know that potholes are something that really bothers people and the extreme wintry conditions have had a very damaging effect on roads across the country, so it’s important that we take action now.” Councillor Jason Stacey, Leader of the (Ealing) Council, said: “I’m delighted that through sound financial management we are not only able to propose a 0% council tax rise next year, but we can also put forward plans for new investments and improvements to services. Other proposals include spending a further £6.5million from April to resurface scores of roads and pavements across the borough, matching last year’s investment. |
