A CALL for more cash to combat potholes has been made by the leader of the county council Henry Smith.
The recent severe weather has caused considerable damage to the county's roads including a dramatic increase in the number of potholes.
The county council is already putting £2.35 million towards the cost of repairs. However, early estimates suggest considerably more cash will be needed.
In a letter to the Secretary of State for Transport, Lord Adonis, Henry says: "It cannot have escaped your notice that following the recent extreme weather local authorities up and down the country are now battling to deal with the damage to highway surfaces that the snow and ice have caused."
