Conservatives running Dudley Council have announced that they will spend an extra £1 million per year on highways for the next four years. After the 'Beast from the East' and 'Storm Emma', the funding boost will bring our local roads back up to a standard that is important to a successful and strong local economy
Leader of the Conservative councillors, Cllr Harley said "Our roads have really taken a hammering over the last couple of winters and we need to put investment back so motorists and council taxpayers feel that their money is being spent wisely".
The move comes as the sole remaining UKIP Councillor in Dudley defected to the Conservatives, giving the party an overall majority.
