I don't know about where you live but here in NW Lancashire a very clear indication of the crisis in local authority spending has been the decline in road maintenance & the growth in potholes & badly damaged roads.
You'll be unsurprised that OECD data reveals that spending on road maintenance halved in the UK between 2006-2019.
Its an open goal for labour: as
Angela Rayner says, to most people, they 'are a symbol of decline'!
Could this be (prosaically) the 'pothole election'?
