Northern Irelands utilities dig up roads over fifty thousand times annually, causing significant road damage and disruptions. The Public Accounts Committee warns that the Department for Infrastructure lacks a clear way to track repair costs, urging a new method by early autumn. With a backlog of over three point three billion pounds in maintenance, the committee pushes for tougher warranties, performance penalties, and better public feedback systems. Officials now face pressure to act on eleven recommendations to protect public funds and improve road conditions.
