The UK’s local road network has been branded a “national embarrassment” in a damning new report, which highlights the Government’s lack of knowledge and control over how improvement funds are allocated and utilised.
The House of Commons’ Public Accounts Committee (PAC), a cross-party body that monitors government spending, concluded its investigation into the state and maintenance of local roads with a critical report. It stated that the Department for Transport (DfT) is failing to take its responsibilities and stewardship of public funds for local roads seriously.
Despite industry experts estimating that the cost of necessary repairs has more than doubled to over £16 billion in the last five years, the DfT considers the condition of the UK’s roads to be “stable,” according to the PAC. The report further reveals that the DfT lacks detailed oversight, as it does not track how local authorities spend the funding provided. The funds are not ring-fenced, and there is no clear strategy for what the department aims to achieve with this investment.
Electric vehicles (EVs) will lose their tax-free status starting April 1, 2025. From that date, EV owners will be required to pay vehicle excise duty (VED), commonly known as road or car tax. This marks a significant policy shift, as the tax exemption has been a major incentive for private buyers to adopt EVs—an incentive particularly important at a time when interest in transitioning to electric vehicles is waning.
However, many see the change as necessary. Without it, VED revenues would decline dramatically as the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars approaches. Currently, VED contributes around £8 billion annually to the Treasury, a sum that the government cannot afford to forgo.
