IAM welcomes road cash

Road safety charity IAM Roadsmart has given the government a thumbs-up for its £27bn investment in road repairs. IAM policy manager, William Porter, said: “This is welcome recognition that maintaining and renewing our road network is just as important as building new infrastructure when it comes to road safety. Drivers rely on well-maintained roads for safe journeys, and years of underinvestment have left too many routes in a poor and potentially dangerous condition.”
