The roads need £Billions to get them up to scratch, this won't do anything.

This is the Tory way, promise a lot without delivering anything.

Yes another budget of middle class vote buying with only pain for the less well off. However, it is the working class tory voter that is the problem...

It's good that money will be invested into improving the roads, in Oxfordshire there are areas that are in a terrible condition.

Trying going to Northamptonshire, half the bridges aren't safe to cross..

Even the most basic unnamed rural French roads beat the ones I’m currently using in Essex.

Maybe the UK will be able to have US style prison chain gangs doing highway maintenance, after Brexit?

The Government's idea of a road improvements are the awfully snarled 'smart' motorways, even more cameras and concrete median barrier so you are trapped during an exodus or emergency.
