AFTER the bad press they got last year, I think Bucks County Council deserve a ‘well done’ for their work keeping roads open during the recent bad weather.

Snow brings out all the potholes

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:09:55 +0000

ISN’T it amazing how our first taste of winter snow has highlighted all those holes and crumbling road surfaces that have been so obvious to most motorists and other road users for months?
