Potholes – that’s what voters care about. But you wouldn’t know it from the local elections coverage | Simon Jenkins

As I bounced dangerously around a Sussex road, I was reminded of the parlous state of our highways – and the serious neglect of local issues It’s the potholes, stupid. Despite the attempts of national politicians to pretend otherwise, the local elections should have been about potholes. Believe it or not, the state of our roads beat the cost of living, the NHS and immigration as the top election issue in the final YouGov poll.
