Local Authorities Filling Potholes ‘Every 19 Seconds’

The number of potholes filled by councils in England and Wales grew by 13% in the past 12 months, a new report shows.

Around 1.7 million potholes were filled during the year 2020-21, compared with 1.5 million during 2019-20, according to council responses to an annual survey by trade body the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA).

The survey also revealed that highway maintenance budgets have increased from an average of £20.7 million to £23.8 million year-on-year, partly due to additional government funding to fix potholes.

Former Labour MP Frank Field dies aged 81

Former Labour MP and crossbench peer Frank Field has died at the age of 81. He was MP for Birkenhead between 1979 and 2019, and served as welfare reform minister in the first Blair government.
