Those who have had painful experience of the bad state of many of the roads running through Leicestershire will welcome the intelligence that a comprehensive scheme of reconstruction is to be undertaken by the county authorities. Proposals have been submitted to the Road Board for the expenditure during the ensuing year of £56,405 for ordinary maintenance and £21,466 for special work. In the event of the scheme ',mine approved, a grant of 227,466 will being payable from the
Government fund. The reconstruction scheme, when completed, is estimated to
cost £155,000. Great difficulty in obtaining necessary men and materials for the work was brought to the notice of the County Council at its last meeting, the pressing necessity for speeding-up the work being emphasized by the statement that there are hundreds of thousands of pot-holes in the roads.
