Back to EpisodesNI Roads: Utilities Digging Up Road Network, Costing Taxpayers
Description
Northern Irelands utilities dig up roads over 50,000 times annually, causing significant wear and tear.

The committee urges the Department for Infrastructure to develop a cost-tracking method, review repair warranties, and consider penalties for poor work. Despite digital mapping tools, staffing shortages hinder progress.
