Description

Northern Irelands utilities dig up roads over 50,000 times annually, causing significant wear and tear. A Stormont committee warns of potential taxpayer burden due to lack of clear road damage tracking. 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.
