💨 Abstract

English councils must publish annual road reports, detailing pothole repairs, to qualify for £1.6 billion in road maintenance funding from the government. If councils don't comply, they could lose a quarter of their £500 million pothole-specific funding. Many councils are struggling with budgeting, and completely fixing England's pothole-ridden roads could cost £17 billion over 12 years.
