RHA reaction to Transport Focus’ Strategic Roads Survey

Improve roads – RHA’s reaction to Transport Focus’ Strategic Roads User Survey

Transport Focus have today released a survey of 9000 drivers. 
Reacting, Ashton Cull, RHA Public Affairs Manager, said:

“Roads are our industry’s workplace and this survey clearly reflects the views we hear from lorry, coach and van drivers that they must improve. Declining road quality leads to congestion and delays which costs the UK £30bn a year.

“Better roads make journeys more efficient and boost economic growth so we urge decisionmakers across the country to invest in getting them into the best possible condition.”

Notes for editors

More investment in roads and infrastructure is a key RHA priority.

Ahead of this month’s Budget they urge the Chancellor to keep the £8b allocation of Network North road maintenance funding to improve roads.

They are also calling for the forthcoming Road Investment Strategy (RIS3) to feature a fresh pipeline of projects to kickstart a new period of job creation and economic growth.
