UK’s ‘broken road system’ is DAMAGING economic growth | Travel journalist explains
‘We’ve known this for years! This culture of hating the car, four wheels bad, two wheels good, and not building roads deliberately was going to lead to this and here we are!’
Quentin Willson says the UK road system is a ‘smoking, broken ruin’ and is damaging economic growth.

Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.
This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.

Wait for the super heavy electric cars!! Can we get some Roman's back to lay the roads? Like many other things these days, they are not built to last, but built to last long enough for repairs to be required and earn more money………..

Well if it wasn’t for the millions we are spending on illegal immigrants we could perhaps afford to repair our roads. When is it going to stop. Meet the boats half way and then return them to France. It can’t be that hard to understand.
@paulinetaylor1125

Even the lines on the motorways are disappearing and that can be very serious by causing accidents. That is not to mention the cavernous pot holes.!

Sadly costing hard working people in repairs to their cars is no joke to my daughter who only needs a car because of no public transport after 6 pm and she works regular nights and the market town to taxis mainly operates for the drinking revellers who need taxis to get to their drinking locations and home afterwards to unreliable taxi service for people to travel to work. She drives less than a thousand miles a year but she has to keep having her tyres replaced for punctuation purposes and broken springs to her home only minutes away from her work because of safety concerns she learned to drive on understanding the needs for her own safety and transportation. The town’s roads are very bad and sidewalks are even worse because of cuts to maintenance and repairs to roads and footpaths. Street lighting is so poor that it is dangerous to walking down streets to uneven pavement and cars parked on pavement and not being able to see the edge of the pavement and the step onto the road leading to falling over the raised manhole covering the street light across from where I live in not being able to see the pavement underneath the lamppost or even the opposite side of the road to the dimly lit new street lights that go off at midnight every night and don’t come back on until 6 am until daylight. The people working shifts are in danger trying to get to work for pedestrians and people who don’t drive and no public transportation is a increasingly obvious problem for towns and villages to have no bus service after 6 pm Monday to Saturday and no bus service on Sunday. This is the reality of modern day British culture and why the increase of vehicle usage has evolved over time in no reliable public transportation in England 🏴 is the result of cuts to public transportation infrastructure and higher prices for rail transport and bus services to people who can’t afford to travel to work or get jobs outside of office hours and how towns councils are given 80% of councils tax money to cities to ensure they have plenty of transportation to all night long transport for city workers at the expense of rural people who are unable to work because they cannot get into work from outside of towns. This world has gone backwards regarding so many things that we are losing our infrastructure and industries which is why we need to look closer at our governments

Makes you feel ashamed to be British. As soon as you drive off the Eurotunnel into France it's like going from a third world country into a first world one. We can't even build new roads properly, to anything like the standard of French roads. They fix the roads over there as soon as a small crack appears. Over here we wait until it's dangerous and someone from the public reports it.

There ultimate plan is to get us off the road firstly they do away with the layby for the bus so as to create more traffic when it stops for passengers then they narrow the road for cycle lanes introduce one way systems close off short cuts change traffic light times all to make it appear are roads are one big traffic jam then they bring in Khan and his foot soldiers around the country who on top off 20mph emission and road charges not forgetting 15min cities why the hell would they want to repair are roads

I won't ride my bicycle after dark now as pot holes too deep and large! In the last 3 months it really has gotten bad, so I am forced to walk now, although if desperate I ride my mountain bike instead in the hope that I won't go over the handlebars with the wide tyres and front suspension!

We could do so much if we wasn't paying over 6 million pounds a day to house illegal migrants in hotels.
Plus millions to the human rights lawyers.
And interpreters etc etc.
Our resources are already over stretched we can't afford to keep taking people in. Just my opinion of course.

The UK road system is symbolic of a general malaise. Even when the roads are upgraded, it's done so ponderously and badly, it's hardly worth the cost and effort as anyone who uses the M20 or The M25 can attest to. It's shameful.

Yes blame labour in the late 90's, don't worry about blaming the people who've had the last 11 years to do something about our roads, the Tories.
For a party I've heard people describe as the money party they are pretty awful as spending it efficiently. They are literally the party of "cuts", so probably silly to say the roads are like this because of new labour.
Really elementary stuff, it's a shame when people's ideologies get in the way of the honest truth. So easy for Tory sympathisers to just explain away the issues their own party has caused

December 28, 2023 at 6:50 am
Oh, you don't say! Front suspension damaged and costing several £oo to repair. The road fixing/repair is virtually non existent or when carried out is poorly done. For years the car tax payers have been ripped off for little to no benefit (but plenty of money for cameras, rainbows, cycle lanes and planters in the road etc.)
