A UK council’s proposed £1.5M road cuts spark warnings of long-term damage and higher costs.
A former Worcestershire highways chief, Marc Bayliss, has criticized proposed £1.5 million in road spending cuts, warning they could damage road quality and lead to higher long-term costs.
He called the reductions "short-sighted" and "self-defeating," stressing that decades of investment are at risk as many roads now need regular maintenance.
The cuts, part of broader financial pressures and a fixed budget, would reduce structural carriageway funding by £2.5 million in 2026/27.
Council finance chief Rob Wharton acknowledged the challenges and said savings proposals, including highway cuts, are under review for approval in February.
