Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[Grahamm]

Exactly the same here too. Where, exactly, is our road tax being spent ? Surely it's supposed to be being spent on the roads !!

Not since the "Road Fund Licence" was replaced by "Vehicle Excise Duty" around the time of the Second World War.

All the money goes to HM Treasury and the Government is then supposed to pass that on to the Councils to pay for road repairs.

Except the Conservative Government have been cutting and cutting and cutting even further so that the Councils can't afford to fix all the damage, but the Tories want you to blame them for it, instead of their ruinous Austerity programme which just makes the rich buggers richer and screw the little people.
