Local projects could suffer most
A 300% rise in the cost of weedkiller is among the nearly £20 million of inflationary cost pressures faced by Lincolnshire County Council’s highways.
Reports before councillors say that since the Highways Works contract with Balfour Beatty started in April 2020 there have been massive inflationary pressure. Among the “massive” rises are aggregates and steel impacting on the cost of building bridges, steel meshes and fencing. “They talk the talk, but its really frustrating because MPs are constantly on at us… then at a national level they’re getting into the House of Commons and Westminster and we don’t hear much of a call for ‘can LCC have their missing millions back?'”
“These things make a massive difference to people’s daily lives. And I’m afraid the government’s orchestration of cuts means they aren’t going to happen.”Yet all councils can continue to do is “make the case” he said.
