Mark Menzies MP has said there are 102,440 potholes across Lancashire, commenting, ‘People in Fylde should be able to get to work and to see friends and family without fear of damaging their vehicles due to poor quality roads.’ He has therefore welcomed £5,122,000 to improve road standards for drivers, saving them money on repairs, and making it easier to get to work and see family.

MP Menzies said: ‘People in Fylde should be able to get to work and to see friends and family without fear of damaging their vehicles due to poor quality roads. That is why I am delighted the Conservative Government is investing £5,122,000 across Lancashire to fix 102,440 potholes. This funding will not only improve the quality of people’s journey but will also make our roads safer for everyone who uses them.”
