Clamouring for some 'compo'

Jun 18 2009 Buckinghamshire Advertiser

RECENTLY there has been a growing concern about the state of roads in Buckinghamshire; in fact it was in this paper a couple of weeks ago that someone wanted compensation on his car, which got damaged going over a pothole.

In fact he is not the only person seeking compensation for this reason, hundreds of people are.

Every week the roads get worse and although it got worse due to the bad weather earlier in the year, more cars are starting to get damaged and the council need to do something, quickly.

Soon (if we are not careful) it will not only be cars; people are seeking compensation on but injuries, something you should never receive by driving down a road.

So surely these people deserve compensation, after all, what have they done? Our roads need fixing and meanwhile people should be awarded with compensation.

The council should surely also think of the view it gives our local area, we must look like poor people who struggle to fix roads, not the welcoming and flourishing community that we really are.

So I think that people should definitely be compensated and the state of our roads addressed. The council has to fix the roads; it is just the right thing to do.
