Number of drivers concerned with state of local roads hits record high
The Guardian
|August 12, 2024
The number of UK drivers concerned with the state of local roads has hit record levels, according to the RAC, as the government faces pressure to fix the country's battered infrastructure.
The motoring body urged the government to provide more funding for councils to fix local roads after 56% of the 2,700 drivers it surveyed put the poor condition of council-maintained roads as their top concern. This was 21 percentage points higher than concerns over the cost of insuring a vehicle, which was second on the list.
