Towns clamoring for road maintenance after harsh winter

Towns in Central Bohemia have urged the regional authorities to speed up the process of fixing pot-holes on roads and highways in the region since they present a serious threat to drivers. The state of all Czech roads is particularly bad this year, after the long, harsh winter, and a large slice of the money which was reserved for maintenance was spent on extra salt for the roads during the winter months. With the overall road-maintenance budget smaller because of the economic crisis, many towns fear that roads in their vicinity may be left untouched.
