First passports, now potholes, what next - more burglaries because people have something to steal?
“We have also seen more traffic on the roads we have seen a four per cent increase in traffic in the first quarter of this year in comparison to a year ago, that is because more good are travelling around as the economy improves, more people are travelling to work as they get jobs so this means the roads are getting more wear and tear and this money helps councils get on top of that job.”

I thought a lot of those potholes were from the winter before and hadn't been repaired earlier due to cutbacks.
oh right
a DUMBASS!
But they get to have photos taken saying the tram is a success because on day 1 more than 5 people used it.
Some people will believe anything the `Telegraph` prints
You have to be a very odd person to make such a claim, the sort of thing you might hear from a Chinese government official.
Weird, did he seriously expect to be believed?
I'm sure it's the latest Tory Central office edict , take any opportunity however ridiculous to pretend the economy is improving. Don't worry if you sound bonkers, some idiot will buy it.
You might be right, there does appear to be a trend.
This government are shockingly bad at cunning plans though.
I'd be marginally surprised if that hasn't been suggested somewhere actually.
Congratulations to England on getting knocked out of the World Cup so early.
It proves the team is really improving and just a couple of banknotes away from being champions of the universe.
