The UK government has introduced new regulations mandating local councils to provide annual reports on their pothole repairs. Prime Minister emphasized the importance of accountability in road maintenance, announcing a significant funding increase of 4.8 billion for roadwork. Councils failing to demonstrate adequate progress risk losing 25% of their allocated funding. The move aims to ensure public transparency and drive local authorities to effectively utilize the financial resources provided. This initiative is part of a broader government effort to stimulate economic growth and improve infrastructure.
From today (March 24), the government has introduced a new pothole fixing rule, aimed at councils across the UK. The Prime Minister said councils need to get on with the job of fixing potholes as he announced an additional 4.8 billion of funding to carry out work on motorways and major A-roads.
Councils must publish pothole fixing reports or risk losing money to fix them. The public deserves to know how their councils are improving their local roads.
