Britain’s buckling railways and melting roads will take “decades” to make fit for purpose for a climate emergency, a Tory minister admitted today.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said it will be a “long process” to replace and upgrade infrastructure to withstand more heatwaves in future.
It comes after the UK recorded its hottest night on record, with temperatures not dropping below 25C in places, and a potential record high of 41C is predicted today.
