True, but the potholes and speed bumps are both the responsibility of the Labour-controlled County Council.

Only 15% of your Council Tax is retained in Burnley. The rest goes to Preston.

I think we should scrap Lancashire and have home rule for Burnley, perhaps in partnership with Pendle. Then residents could decide for ourselves whether we want road bumps, 20mph speed limits, speed cameras or what.
