THE county council response to my district council, colleague Councillor Rachel Lewis, (Cash crisis looms over road repairs, July 21) is , to say the least, somewhat disingenuous.
The figure of £1.9 million they say is to be spent by the Highways Partnership in Wyre Forest this year is that unit's TOTAL budget.
The part actually available for road maintenance, which is what Rachel was on about, is, on the latest updated figure, only £850,000.
Rachel is quite right to talk about a crisis in road repair spending.
