Beyond Potholes: Lilian Greenwood on how tech, policy and prevention will reshape the UK's roads

Are potholes just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the real issues facing our roads?

If you're in the business of managing, maintaining, or modernising highways, you already know that reactive repairs are expensive, inefficient, and deeply unpopular. In this episode of Highways Voices, Future of Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood lays out how government and industry must work together to shift from short-term fixes to long-term, tech-powered strategies that deliver value and resilience.
