Back to EpisodesPothole Crisis: £18.6B Repair Cost, 51% Good Roads
Description
Record £18.6 billion needed to fix pothole-damaged roads in England and Wales, with only 51% in good condition. Despite funding boosts, progress is slow, with roads fully resurfaced once every 97 years. Road users and leaders express frustration, citing weather-related issues and higher risks for motorcyclists. Budgets per local authority rose 17% to £30.5 million, but it could take 12 years to catch up. Steady investment is key to improving road conditions.
