Long-term underfunding means that the cost to fix the backlog of local roads in need of repair has reached a record £14.02 billion, reports this year’s annual local authority road maintenance (alarm) survey from UK.⁠ ⁠

The equivalent of 22,600 miles of the road is now likely to require maintenance in the next 12 months. ⁠
