We welcome that project, and I understand that there are proposals for an extension, for which I am sure that the local authority will bid to the local sustainable transport fund for funding.
Mr Brian H. Donohoe (Central Ayrshire) (Lab)
Of course, it is not possible for me to come here from my constituency on a bike—although many of my constituents believe that I should, on the basis of the recent exposure of expenses. One area of concern is the number of potholes on the roads. What is being done about potholes, because everybody knows that they are a major problem, given the recent climatic conditions?
Mike Penning
Local authorities are doing their best to deal with potholes. We will announce at least an additional £100 million to help local authorities to fill potholes.
