Labour urged for 5‑year pothole warranty amid £645 m damages
Drivers demand five‑year warranty after government pledges £1.6bn to fix potholes.
On 15 January 2026 GB News reported that the UK government pledged an extra £1.6 billion to repair potholes, a figure announced by the Department for Transport on 12 December 2025. Motor‑owners, upset by increasing accident costs, claim £645 million in vehicle damage and medical claims. The Motorists' Association has called on the Labour Party to launch a five‑year warranty covering all roadside repairs after a vehicle hits a pothole. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was photographed inspecting a tyre‑damaged tyre in London's Hyde Park, underscoring the issue. The scheme would guarantee compensation and maintenance, potentially saving drivers from costly DIY fixes and insurance claims across British roads.
