Roads under your banner (Highways England / National Highways) are in a terrible state and very dangerous there is a serious lack of maintenance being undertaken. Lack of road markings, cats eyes, detritus removal from central reserves and verges for rain water run off is making driving conditions treacherous especially at night (the list could go on as regards to what’s not being done in general terms) it’s like playing Russian roulette with your life. Having previously worked on the highway’s doing maintenance for 13 years the failure’s stick out like a sore thumb. There is NO excuse for the state of the roads other than a serious lack of management over the company’s contracted to maintain them. The maintenance that use to be carried out isn’t being done and this idea of just letting roads fall into a state of disrepair then put a scheme in place rather the maintain is wrong and is costing lives. Highways England YOU have a duty to keep the roads maintained and safe for the travelling public and your clearly not doing it. Should never have taken the client/contractor out of the equation putting it all under one management setup allowing the police to police themselves and a big pot of money to keep if not used. Hence let the road fall into a state of repair and then get the money for a scheme from a central pot not the maintenance contract.
