Balanced News: Cyclist, 84, dies after wheel gets caught in nine inch-deep pothole

An 84-year-old cyclist was killed when the front wheel of his bike got jammed in a nine inch-deep pothole on a remote rural road. His wife, Valerie Colledge, 69, told The Telegraph that both central and local Governments must do more to repair potholes on the country’s “woefully inadequate” roads. The Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA), which represents companies supplying materials and repairing roads, released its latest analysis of local authority expenditure which showed stark differences in funding for road repairs in rural and urban areas.
