More than half of drivers (56 per cent) say the state of Britain’s local roads is one of their top motoring concerns, according to the RAC.
A record, and growing, proportion of drivers also report that the local roads they use are in a worse state than in the previous 12 months. An LGA spokesperson said: “As this report highlights, the new government should commit to maintain the previous administration’s spending plans for local highways maintenance, alongside the need for long-term funding certainty, to help better support resurfacing schemes and prevent potholes in the first place.”
