Original Note:
The Conservatives have repeatedly made this promise. In 2014 they promised to fill potholes. In the 2019 election manifesto there was again a commitment. However in 2022 and 2023 it was reported that pothole funding had never happened or was being cut. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/councils-given-168-million-to-fix-local-roads https://www.facebook.com/conservatives/photos/manifesto-2019-well-launch-the-biggest-ever-pothole-filling-programme-were-going/10157427219589279/ https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/19893668.labour-slam-rishi-sunak-pothole-funding-broken-promises/ https://www.local.gov.uk/about/news/pothole-repair-funding-uk-has-reduced-more-majority-other-oecd-nations-lga-analysis
