Gedling MP Tom Randall is to hold a live question and answer session with the leader of Nottinghamshire County Council on social media next week giving residents the chance to quiz him about the state of the borough’s roads.

Ben Bradley will join the local MP for the question and answer session being held on Facebook next Tuesday (13) evening.

Mr Randall promised to organise the session after recently airing his views on the poor state of the borough’s roads.

Residents are being asked to submit their questions to the council leader by 12pm on Monday, February 12 via email to tom.randall.mp@parliament.uk – using ‘Fixing Gedling’s roads FB Q&A’ as the subject.

Mr Randall said: “Fixing our roads is a priority of Gedling residents and mine and I will be asking the Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council about it live on Facebook on Tuesday February 13.”

Yesterday Gedling Eye revealed that an extra £4 million will now be needed to repair Nottinghamshire roads after highways suffered five times the amount of damage than normal in seasonal storms.

Nottinghamshire County Council says it is allocating the money for extra works following unprecedented rainfall during Storm Babet in October and Storm Henk in January.

The proposals, which will go before full council for approval later this month, will make repairing flood-damaged roads one of the top priorities.

The county council plans to allocate £4m from extra funding the government announced last month to start repairs.
