The state of the roads in an area of southern Wiltshire has been labelled “atrocious” by a local councillor. Richard Budden, the liberal democrat councillor for Tisbury and the Donheads, is calling for urgent action on the roads in his community. “These grants include £3.7m additional pothole funding received from government this financial year with confirmation of an extra £5.228m to come for 2024/25 to 2025/26. “Wiltshire has a vast road network of over 2,800 miles and our additional £10m investment will enable us to tackle more repairs on C and U/C class roads. “We confirmed this course of action at our ‘Highways Matters’ South West Area Board event in November 2023 when these roads were highlighted as a priority by local residents for the additional funding we’re providing.”
