#TalkAboutRoadDeath Looking forward to the plan to #StopRoadDeath after the RS strategy - in this example - how we reduce the number of children killed on Britain’s roads @Heidi_Labour * A child for the target are those 15 and under - not the Children Act legal definition.
dr ian greenwood@ian_m_greenwoodFeb 26
#TalkAboutRoadDeath - children This chart shows how many children were killed on our roads from 2008 (cumulative) - the year my own 12 year old daughter was killed by an oncoming young drivers car. 1,256 children. @transportgovuk are right to set an ambitious target

Reported 25cm deep pothole where @mrpotholeuk & I previously reported a similar one on @fixmystreet One delayed small repair has now led to 17m of carriageway failure! Worth the cycle 🚴‍♀️

Our Road workers in many cases don't clear up after Pothole repairs. Leaving the old material from the pothole that came out before filling. I see time and time again! Takes a minute to sweep and shovel up.

Someone build a web tool that access the council's pothole system and automatically issues Section 56 against the areas they are neglecting.
Mr Pothole@mrpotholeukMay 20
Mr Pothole gets a Masterclass on Highways Act from "Mr Section56". So watch out England’s Highways Authorities... Mr Pothole and Mr Section56 are coming to get you.

I'm actively working on new website hopefully goes live this month. It will include every aspect of UK's Pothole roads. From why our roads are failing, poor quality repairs, what a good repair repairs, legal information etc. What would you like to see?

After last weekend’s loss at Leicester, someone on a Saints messageboard started a topic called ‘Dowson owes the supporters an apology!!’. Six days on, after the win against Bristol, another supporter responded by starting a new topic with the same title. And I am here for it.

@WNhighways carry out emergency Pothole repairs after month of these deep defects being left. However leave a deep Pothole at same location, WHY? TM in place road closed so 15 mins more to fix it. #Madness wasting taxpayers money! Manor Rd Brackley @kiergroup

Something I've been advocating for years. Given Devon County use of them for over a decade. @NALC @ceo_ncalc Can you imagine #ParishPotholeArmy coming to roads near you? Volunteers to maintain highways under pilot scheme. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyp…

@transportgovuk This is your monitoring team saying "Can't be bothered" with @NationalHways spending £3.24M on a £50K repair!! What is wrong with the system? @RachelReevesMP 65 TIMES A REASONABLE COST! 65! @BBCNorthampton Worth a chat? @mrpotholeuk @SarahBool

If complaints have increased by a factor of 7 the @BristolCouncil roads must have exceeded the tipping point between just managing the decline in acceptable condition to abject failure! How can they recover without a complete rethink! Highways the new economics! @mrpotholeuk

What would truly incentivise Red Rated Highway Authorities to embrace road safety? What if all B, C & U roads were limited to 30mph? If open S56 notices attracted a statutory 30 limit? Political suicide to enable or ignore? @TransportActio2 @LilianGreenwood @mrpotholeuk

Highway patrols should have permanently installed camera based inspection systems such as @Stanthe_app with mandated public access, forcing @NationalHways to acknowledge defects, for @railandroad to hammer home improvements! @transportgovuk @LilianGreenwood Virtually NO COST!

Just had to educate someone in Highways industry about the law. They questioned me about legal obligation of a highways authority. Also the fact that lack of money is not a legal defence. When it comes to maintaining a public road. They asked if I was real?
