Please 'level up' our roads... by filling in the pot holes

If the government is serious about levelling up, then a good place to start would be to fix the essential road infrastructure in rural areas such as Lincolnshire. The lack of regular public transport services mean that ensuring the roads are fit-for-use is a key part of supporting the county's socio-economic activities and community healthcare transport. A start would be reinstatement of the millions of £ that were reportedly deducted from the County Council's budget, but I suspect it requires much more investment. I personally would like to see where my road tax goes - is it spent in my own county, as I rarely travel beyond the boundary. Unless we develop hover cars, the state of roads (not to mention pavements) needs to be 'fixed'. That's where levelling up might usefully start as far as I am concerned. Thank you.
