Britain’s roads ‘could be improved’

A severe winter has brought more of these to British roads

Caravan enthusiasts may know as well as any road user how well maintained their regular routes are.

However, the condition of the UK’s highways could be set to improve if the Transport Committee has its way and regulations are passed to develop how local authorities operate.

According to the group, many local authorities are not spending their entire roads budget allocated by the government.

It has suggested that parliament sets out clear guidelines for how this money should be spent and that it ensures there is more clarity from councils on how they are maintaining their local transport infrastructure.

A recent statement by the committee concluded that more has to be done to manage both repairs and traffic congestion.

The body suggested that a combination of sustainable transport, careful planning and the use of modern technology could improve Britain’s highways for all road users.

In other news, one happy caravan owner was reunited with his vehicle just hours after it was stolen after the TRACKER device he installed helped police catch the criminal.
