Sir Keir Starmer's party is blasted for not going forward with a plan to crack down on overrunning roadworks with fines of up to £10,000 a day and "plough the proceeds straight back into fixing Britain's roads".

The Tories say the "plan for drivers", consulted on while they were in power, could raise up to £100million over a decade and provide the cash to repair "Britain's battered roads".
