Road repair specialist, Asphalt Group Ltd, speaking today on National Pothole Day with Managing Director Stephen Cooke calling for a focus on improving the condition of roads so that they last longer.
Asphalt Group Managing Director Stephen Cooke said:
“Whilst it is important to raise awareness of potholes and the risks they pose to road users we really need to get to a point where we aren’t talking about them anymore.
“Decades of under investment in our roads and minimal preventative maintenance repairs have led us to where we are. But now is the time to change the narrative and start talking about roads that last.
“At Asphalt Group we’re committed to investing in proven materials, systems and surface treatments that will make roads last much longer. Filling potholes just creates a vicious circle with the same hole often reappearing time and time again. It is time to make roads that last.”
