MASSETTS ROAD & POTHOLE CONTRACT

  • Tweet
Tuesday, 12 January, 2021
  • I know how important the issue of potholes is to residents across East Surrey, and it has been my No 1 local priority since becoming your MP in December 2019. I campaigned at the March 2020 Budget for much-needed funds and managed to secure £33.5 million extra for potholes locally.
  • However, after inspecting the work that took place on Massetts Road last year, it was clear that the patch-up job was not good enough and that the road needed proper work.
  • I am therefore delighted to report that after having raised this with Matt Furniss, Cabinet Member for Transport, Surrey County Council (SCC) has now agreed to carry out resurfacing works, and I can confirm that this is scheduled for 2021.
  • At my end, I will continue working with local leaders on my East of Surrey Local Economic Taskforce that I run with Crispin Blunt MP to push forward on our infrastructure priorities.
  • I have also written to SCC about the pothole contractor, which is up for review, to stress the need for quality repairs as well as increased monitoring of repairs. I am extremely supportive of SCC’s new Lane Rental Scheme, which will mean utility companies will need to repair the roads they need to dig up or face fees.
  • As ever, if you need my assistance or have any questions, please contact me at claire.coutinho.mp@parliament.uk.
