Fix our roads and pavements

Hertfordshire's roads and pavements are among some of the worst in the country. Anyone crossing our county boundaries can see at a glance just how bad things are.

You tell us constantly this is your main priority. On every survey response, on every newsletter reply slip and face to face on the door step, you tell us how disappointed you are with the state of our roads and pavements.

What we will do to change this:

• Repair and maintain the roads before they deteriorate and need to be completely replaced

• Get rid of Herts Highways and give residents more of a say to get real results

• Introduce 'Pothole Moles': a pro-active team to blitz potholes properly so they don't need to be filled in again two days later

• Strictly enforce the new legislation on utility repairs to ensure roads are only dug up once and are then repaired to a high standard
