Stu Peters Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 4 hours ago, Kevlar said: To be honest I think it’s embarrassing for an MHK to admit on social media that they are so hopeless as an MHK that they can’t even apply influence on the DOI to get a road fixed in the constituency that voted them in. If I was a PSM voter I’d take that post as a clear reminder that I voted for someone who can’t even get a road fixed. You seem not to understand a point I've been making for two years - a single MHK can't demand anything. I've been told I should exercise my authority as a DOI member to get the road near me at Mount Murray fixed sooner (something I'm sure would go down well here) and refuse to do so. Fact is, DOI looks at repairs and maintenance and prioritises jobs based on danger, traffic flow, type and estimated cost of repair etc. Like all deparments we're under the cosh financially and can't do everything all at once. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Just now, finlo said: Now I wonder why that might be? Because Treasury is trying to balance the books - which I'm sure you welcome - and ALL departments are being asked to help (not just those involved in Liverpool and The Prom overspends). This administration either inherited previous problems are is dealing with the after effects of Covid, Brexit and now Ukraine and recssion. So people might have to avoid potholes for a bit longer.

An extra 700 civil servants on the payroll? As for danger, traffic flow, type etc, how did the Sloc, Druidale, various back roads around St Mark's and West Baldwin fit into those criteria?

Understand where you are coming from Stu but perhaps you should explain to your constituent that you will raise the matter on their behalf but not for them to hold out too much hope because of financial restraints on spending and priorities??? Rather than, '' refuse to do so ''??? Not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 ALL administrations inherit 'problems' from the previous. Some caused by 'vote buying' measures? Shouldn't really happen in our non party state but then it might help the incumbents to be re-elected if the CS decree??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu was good enough to provide a breakdown of how much motorist's revenue was actually spent on the roads before his assimilation was fully completed...bear in mind that these figures were pre-the huge recent rises in RF duty.
