Khalil Yousuf, the former Lib-Dem Prospective MP for Farnham & Bordon., said: “The Conservatives have overseen years of neglect in our transport network – cutting vital maintenance budgets, delaying essential repairs, and allowing our roads to deteriorate to dangerous levels.

“In Hampshire, only a third of potholes are being repaired. Last year, I worked alongside local councillors to fix a road so riddled with potholes that it posed a serious hazard to cyclists and children crossing to a nearby green space.
