Pothole-related insurance claims in the UK have surged by 62% in two years, reaching the highest levels in nine years due to severe weather and storms. In 2024 alone, there has been a 14% increase over last year's record.

In response, Labour has pledged £1.6 billion for road repairs, targeting one million additional pothole fixes each year. The government has also committed £500 million for local road maintenance in 2025-26, emphasizing the urgent need for infrastructure improvements.
