    The government pulls in £48 Billion per annum from motoring related taxes. Why is only half of this sum ploughed back into the roads and where does the other £24 Billion go?

      In their pockets!!!
      Also to the pot hole busters practice should make perfect, so could you please come back and re-do ours on Cherry Tree Hill in Ironbridge as its like being in a bumper car when you drive over the now lumpy filled in holes! :(

      80/20 rule, perhaps? 80% of damage caused by 20% of potholes. I have no idea if that’s true, but it’s a rule of thumb that seems to fit lots of different scenarios.
