Number of UK drivers concerned with state of local roads hits record levels

RAC urges government to give councils funding to fix pothole-ridden roads after years of underinvestment

The number of UK drivers concerned with the state of local roads has hit record levels, according to the RAC, as the government faces pressure to fix the country's battered infrastructure.

The motoring body urged the government to provide more funding for councils to fix the state of local roads after it found 56% of the 2,700 drivers surveyed put the poor condition of council-maintained roads as their top concern.
