EU equality laws
Six years ago today, July the 2nd, I was sitting in the European Parliament when the Commission announced that they would bring forward comprehensive anti discrimination legislation.

Some smaller roads which were in a dreadful state, such at Lower Wood are also being addressed. However, that still leaves a mass of potholes and degraded surfaces on minor roads that need doing. It is estimated that at our current rate of repair it will take 93 years to finish the job! It would be far simpler if the Government ring-fenced a proportion of the Road Fund Licence (or some of the duty on petrol) for local authorities to maintain our roads. It would be a far better solution to the problem and go a long way to addressing the chronic state of our roads in Shropshire. BROADBAND Earlier this year Shropshire Council bid for extra funding from government to help provide the fast broad band that local residents and rural busine
