Episode Details

Nottingham’s roads are in dire shape, with an $80 million backlog needing urgent repairs—years of austerity have left streets cracked, potholes deep, and infrastructure crumbling. Councilors blame decades of underfunding, but say they’re ready to fix it if money arrives. It costs over $9 million annually just to manage the mess, not solve it. A $1.5 million shortfall looms for 2026-27, but funding is projected to catch up by 2028-29. Repairs are prioritized by danger level—with emergency fixes within 2 hours—and surprisingly, road damage claims rarely win, totaling just over $8,000 last year.
