A cash-strapped council has been blasted over plans to call on volunteers to maintain local roads, paths and verges in a bid to save money.

Bosses at Suffolk County Council revealed they are considering setting up a community self-help scheme to encourage residents to carry out minor highway repairs.

The 'DIY' project would mean that employed council workers could use their time to focus on larger works and pothole repairs.
