SO THE potholes get bigger and bigger while our prime minister spends nine million pounds of taxpayer's money - our money - on a leaflet supporting an organisation that I have never had a vote on to join.

Every person I have spoken to has binned it, the Conservative Party should be made to pay for the leaflet. What a waste of public money.

Gloucestershire's roads are one of the worst in the country, with that amount of money being wasted every day we could be driving in heaven, not a pothole in sight.

According to information received, Rosebery Road in Dursley does not now exist in highway terms, it's far too expensive to repair (about £80,000-£100,000) and was taken off the repair list of jobs.

The town council has asked for the road to be reinstated but alas to no avail.

The Conservative-run county council has more than £130million in the bank. Spend some of it before the county grinds to a halt.
