REACTION: IAM RoadSmart urges government to implement comprehensive roads renewal plan following new report on the state of Britain's roads.

IAM RoadSmart Director of Policy and Standards Nicholas Lyes said: “This report lays bare the challenge required to improve the standard of our road network. While focus is often on the expensive damage potholes can do to vehicles, they are also a huge road safety hazard particularly for those on two wheels. We urge the Government to come up with a roads renewal plan, which includes ringfenced funding so we can finally start to get a grip on our crumbling road network.”
