National Pothole Day – RHA calls for long-term solutions

15 Jan 2025 Posted By Paul Mummery

On National Pothole Day (15 January), James Barwise, RHA Policy Lead, said:

“Poorly maintained roads cause misery for millions of road users in delays and increased costs; congestion costs the economy £30bn a year.”

“We urge the Government to ensure local authorities are equipped with latest technology for longer lasting and more cost-effective road maintenance. We also call on local authorities to allocate and ringfence pothole funding and perform permanent rather than temporary repairs.”
