Highways are poorly funded, increasingly badly managed, with £14B backlog of repairs, Mr Pothole & I can cure this! 📛👣🚴♀️💰❌

@mrpotholeuk @transportgovuk @Heidi_Labour @LilianGreenwood @APPGCW @CyclingLawyers @NationalHways While relatively small potholes can cause a 5G force through the handlebars, it’s scree that’s the major risk.
I have an 8cm scar on my shoulder due to scree, police post inspection of crashes PRETEND that highway conditions are only 1.6% to blame!
Make AI road survey a must!

@StDocErrors @transportgovuk @Heidi_Labour @LilianGreenwood @APPGCW @CyclingLawyers @NationalHways One of my major concerns in this whole thing is the increased risk to those on two wheels. I believe and had confirmed once that Section 58 Defence inspection don't consider cyclists enough. That was from Highways Director who has now retired.

@transportgovuk the consultation period for such an important document is to short. Less than a calendar month doesn't give time for a proper consultation. Why such a short time? @Heidi_Labour @LilianGreenwood @APPGCW @CyclingLawyers

@Jamie371041 Seen this @mrpotholeuk
Even worse, taxation on fuel never goes to better roads
English

Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) revenue 2025 was £8.2–£8.4 billion, but only around 20%–26% of VED revenue went specifically to local road repairs and pothole-style maintenance.
Total spend on road infrastructure and upgrades, was £4.3 billion....what happened to the rest?

They seriously need to sort out these potholes 😁😁

@PotholeOpinion Unintended consequences of poorly drafted legislation Keith, a recurring theme!

@VisTran @MrPothole @stantheapp @NationalHways this is deplorable, congestion costs the economy £16Bn a year, NOT routinely fixing defects overnight on the SRN is a big part of this!
Use Stan on all patrol vehicles, stop this nonsense of unexpected potholes. @RoadAndRail @transportgovuk
English

So @MrPothole M1 closures today due to poor inspection by @NationalHighways
If only they had AI based inspections available to them! @StanTheApp

#CuringPotholeBritain is evolving to “Highways, the new economics”
Government has reduced funding since 1937!
Locally determined LAWS are divisive!
Address efficiency & effectiveness
Include parishes & volunteers
Enable preventative by design!

@mrpotholeuk @SuppServDirect @WestNorthants @WNhighways @NorthantsPolice I’m awaiting a development meeting with @Stanthe_app
They have records of all scree / delamination locations within their surveys, comparing those to @CrashMaps will finally show the truth hidden by post crash forensics for decades!
The new economics of road safety is dawning!

@VisTran @WestNorthants @mrpotholeuk @mrpotholeuk with the Greatworth and Helmdon parishes increasingly anxious, following Farthinghoe, I DO believe there needs to be a parish / volunteer revival
Empowered people can make all the difference!

I surveyed Halse Road yesterday as part of a photo shoot, @WestNorthants met concerned residents recently, repairing the very worst potholes.
Yet dozens are left, some 8cm deep.
Cars weave, drivers implore repairs!
2 S56 notices!
Over 100 repairs. Resurface? @mrpotholeuk

@PACTS @its_uk_org That looks very interesting, limited to members and public sector only.

PACTS is pleased to be supporting the inaugural SafetyTech Forum, hosted by @its_uk_org , taking place on 28 May in Birmingham.
This one-day event will bring together policymakers, industry leaders and technology innovators to explore how new technologies can support safer travel across the transport network.
Our Director, Jamie Hassall, will be speaking on the panel:
“How do we support more effective safety on the road network?”
The forum will cover key topics including:
Road Safety Strategy updates
Advances in enforcement and safety technology
Practical examples of innovation and implementation
It’s a great opportunity to connect with others working to improve transport safety and to explore how technology can help deliver better outcomes.

@prwright55 @mrpotholeuk The unintended consequences of repealing the PUSWA legislation which empowered highway authorities to carry out final reinstatements.
55% of all road defects were caused by utility companies, probably more now! @PotholeOpinion
English

@mrpotholeuk Joking apart these are the sort of old repairs (by a never ending series of utilies, broadband, water etc workers who arent professional road surfacers) that're often causing potholes now. It often isnt the original "virgin" road but these later patches that're crumbling

@WNhighways Please can you tell us where these are planned, and if known, when you plan to do these?

What's the most rarest road sign on UK roads nowadays? It used to be a Duck Crossing sign. Now it's a #NoPotholes caution sign.

@ian_m_greenwood @Brakecharity @Keir_Starmer It’s ludicrous to have a Safer Roads strategy, then NOT make roads safer!

Important report from @Brakecharity on how much support there is to better support the pre and post test for new drivers. ⬇️
