Competition to find Chelmsford's worst pothole

January 16, 2008 11:16 AM

Chelmsford Lib Dems are inviting you to help them find the worst pothole in Chelmsford. With the proposed cuts to the Highways Maintenance budget, there will be more and more potholes in the months ahead.

The Conservatives at Essex County Council have decided to not fix potholes unless they are more than 50mm deep (current standard is 25mm) and to wait much longer before fixing them. To fight these hazardous proposals, we're asking for your pictures to help us demonstrate to just how stupid it would be to cut funding.

Pothole in roadWe're asking YOU to send us your photos to put on our website to help our campaign to oppose cuts to the Highways budget. You can see some of the photos we've received so far here: http://www.chelmsford-libdems.org.uk/pages/Potholes.html

We'll be awarding a House of Commons Bottle of Wine signed by Colchester MP Bob Russell to the best photo we receive.

You can send us your photos:

By email to: info@chelmsford-libdems.org.uk

By text/ multimedia to: 07940 576825

By post to:

Chelmsford Lib Dems, Freepost RRJE-TKYE-YJRG, Chelmsford CM1 2RE

Please send us your name and contact details with your entry so that we can contact you! (The decision of Chelmsford Liberal Democrats on which is the worst is final.)

Please also take the time to sign our petition:-

"We, the undersigned, call on Essex County Council to drop its proposals to allow potholes and footway trips to get larger, and remain for longer, before being repaired, and to stop cutting the Highways maintenance budget."
