The economy performed well for the past few years. Things may be slowing down now but we have not gone completely downhill. Tertiary roads have become worse, as most people would agree, and this deterioration has caused huge annoyance among motorists. This amendment would help the Government to focus minds in local authorities to deal with tertiary roads more strategically than currently. There are provisions which enable local authorities to view other roads in a more strategic way, while they tend to view tertiary roads in an ad hoc manner and dealing with them comes under discretionary funding. One has to shout just to get a pothole filled, but they reappear a few months later. They should be dealt with more strategically.
