Highways are poorly funded, increasingly badly managed, with £14B backlog of repairs, Mr Pothole & I can cure this! 📛👣🚴‍♀️💰❌

And to think , I was jesting recently when I said we need to be careful criticising highway managers who ARE WRONG, ACCEPT POOR PRACTICES - WRONG BECOMES RIGHT!
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10

My aim in court was to reclaim power for the elected MPs, and therefore the people, from the unelected bureaucrats - I failed. We now have the scandalous situation in which unqualified and unelected civil servants can wield parliamentary privilege to literally place themselves above the law. They now hold a special legal status which means they cannot be challenged in court - positioned even higher than MPs for whom the system was actually designed. Parliamentary privilege, an ancient right, exists so that MPs can speak without fear in the chamber, it does not exist to give faceless bureaucrats legal immunity. I wanted to challenge the system in an open and fair court, with ruthless transparency so that the British people could finally see the truth. Our judiciary has not allowed that to happen, enabling unelected civil servants to weaponise parliamentary privilege, designed for MPs, to entirely avoid scrutiny and fair legal challenge. Jacob Rees-Mogg, former Leader of the House of Commons, previously commented on the case. “Thus if Lowe wins, he will not have harmed Parliament, but defended it. For through cowardice we – and I was an MP at the time – abdicated our privileged responsibility and gave it to unelected boffins, who are not so much better than elected politicians after all, but much harder to eject.” A fair summary, yet here we are. I have come to the brutal conclusion that the only way to restore Britain is to win the next general election. That is our last available route out. Restore Britain is the only chance our country has.

@mrpotholeuk @BBC @BBCNorthampton #CuringPotholeBritain is evolving to “Highways, the new economics” Government has reduced funding since 1937! Locally determined LAWS are divisive! Address efficiency & effectiveness Include parishes & volunteers Enable preventative by design!

I surveyed Halse Road yesterday as part of a photo shoot, @WestNorthants met concerned residents recently, repairing the very worst potholes. Yet dozens are left, some 8cm deep. Cars weave, drivers implore repairs! 2 S56 notices! Over 100 repairs. Resurface? @mrpotholeuk

@prwright55 @mrpotholeuk The unintended consequences of repealing the PUSWA legislation which empowered highway authorities to carry out final reinstatements. 55% of all road defects were caused by utility companies, probably more now! @PotholeOpinion

@mrpotholeuk Joking apart these are the sort of old repairs (by a never ending series of utilies, broadband, water etc workers who arent professional road surfacers) that're often causing potholes now. It often isnt the original "virgin" road but these later patches that're crumbling

Future for getting good quality Pothole Repairs is use of AI. I'm currently talking to an AI company about it. It should be included in mandatory Pothole repair training. Saving tens millions of taxpayers money. What do public think?

What's the most rarest road sign on UK roads nowadays? It used to be a Duck Crossing sign. Now it's a #NoPotholes caution sign.
