struggling to cope with a huge surge in claims from drivers for | :00:54. | :01:09. | |
damage to cars caused by potholes. The extremely wet winter has left | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
roads across And today was the last opportunity | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
for councils to apply to central government for extra cash to help | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
deal with the problem. Looking at Hampshire specifically ` | :01:24. | :01:26. | |

where extensive repair is needed. The price tag is ?36 million | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
and rising. Potholes are | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
