3.0 The state of our roads
“Looking at what motorists want to see in terms
of transport investment, I would say that the
things drivers are pushing for are those that the
Government isn’t actually prioritising.
The expenditure is going on motorways and trunk roads,
it’s not going on local roads. I think the Government finds it
difficult to treat everyday transport, such as local roads or
buses, as a priority – they tend to like big projects.”
