Rachel Reeves' Tax Hikes: Roads or Ruins?

Concerns mount about whether higher taxes will translate into better roads amid poor maintenance issues like potholes, casting doubt on government efficiency. Councillor Ratcliffe questions the fairness, warning of rising safety risks, especially for motorcyclists. Is this the progress they promised?
