“As I’ve been out talking to local residents over the last few weeks’ one issue gets raised time and time again. Potholes.

The government has recognised that this has been increasing problem on our roads over the last few years and has given Leeds City Council £2 million over the last two years to help tackle this problem.

Many local residents are asking me where this money has been spent. I need your help.

Please also pass this on to your friends, neighbours and family so they can let me know about any potholes too. I want to get a really good picture of the state of our roads all across Leeds.
