Potholes around Britain will take an average of 11 years to repair, costing more than £14billion, a new survey has found.
The report found that local authority highway teams in England and Wales only received around two-thirds of the funds they needed to prevent further deterioration of our roads.
The Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance (ALARM) survey, published today by the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA), says the gap between what local authorities received and what they said they would have needed to keep roads to their own target conditions and prevent further decline is now £1.30billion - 20 per cent more than last year.
