Shapps to fill more potholes to boost return to work and schools
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has launched a pothole mapping project to improve the road network as people return to work and school.
The government will work with businesses like Deliveroo and Uber alongside local highway authorities to identify ‘pothole hot-spots’ for targeted repairs.
Highways data and mapping specialist Gaist will also play a key role with the audit.
The government has already committed £2.5bn in funding for pothole repairs with 319 miles of resurfacing undertaken when roads where quieter during lockdown.
