More industry reaction to pothole review

摘要

Institute of Highway Engineers President, Steve Spender said: "Our roads and footways have shown a high level of deterioration over the last few years not only due to the successive severe winters, but also as a result of a level of under- investment in the network over a longer period of time. Most authorities are progressing with the development of applying asset management principles in their highway maintenance regimes but there is still a shortage of experience and knowledge in this field that will aid us in ensuring that we make most effective use of resources.
