From the creator

Our roads are a 'national disgrace', that's according to a new report that says the cost of bringing roads in England and Wales up to scratch has risen to a record £18.6 billion. It certainly makes drivers furious. And it's no surprise – when you learn that our roads are resurfaced on average once every 97 years. That means there could be some roads which haven't had proper renovation since 1929. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
