Local Councils Claim to be Fixing a Pothole Every 17 Seconds

In this weeks budget the UK Chancellor’s announcement of £2.5 billion (€2.8bn) of extra funding over five years will certainly be welcomed by hard-pressed local authorities dealing with reduced highway maintenance budgets. Rick Green, Chair of the Asphalt Industry Alliance commented about the budget. Read his full text here.

Check out the AIA Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance Survey (ALARM) which aims to take a snapshot of the general condition of the local UK road network.

Filling Potholes

In his address to Parliament Chancellor Rishi Sunak commented; “We can’t level up Britain and spread opportunity if we are spending our journeys dodging potholes and forking out for the damage they cause. It’s vital we keep roads in good condition.” 

In spite of the news that government is to spend more money filling potholes in roads campaigner Mr Pothole was not impressed. He claims around 95 percent of potholes could be avoided with long term management and said the government was wasting hundreds of millions of pounds.  With hundreds of people killed and seriously injured due to pothole-related accidents he urged people to report road defects to help save lives.

We Can Help....

Government To Spend More Money Filling Potholes 1

Filling potholes can be a tricky business. We believe utilising new technology can assist in the fight on potholes by producing accurate measurements of road defects in the first place. By providing a quick and accurate way of measuring defects means on site time and material costs are kept to a minimum. Traditional methods of measuring reinstatement dimensions are slow restrictive and the results are often not integrated with other systems. Our software calculates volumetric measurements using a single photo. It logs the location and provides details of the material needed to perform a repair thus reducing waste. Learn more.
