英国的一个理事会提议削减1.5亿英镑的公路,引发长期损害和较高成本的警示。 A UK council’s proposed £1.5M road cuts spark warnings of long-term damage and higher costs.

一位前Worcestershire高速公路负责人Marc Bayliss批评削减道路开支150万英镑的提议,警告他们可能损害道路质量并导致更高的长期成本。 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. 他称这些减少措施“目光短浅”且“自我挫败”，强调数十年的投资正面临风险，因为许多道路现在需要定期维护。 He called the reductions "short-sighted" and "self-defeating," stressing that decades of investment are at risk as many roads now need regular maintenance. 这些削减是更广泛的财政压力和固定预算的一部分,将在2026/27年减少250万英镑的结构性交通经费。 The cuts, part of broader financial pressures and a fixed budget, would reduce structural carriageway funding by £2.5 million in 2026/27. 理事会财务主任罗布·沃顿承认了这些挑战,并表示正在审查包括公路削减在内的节约计划,以便在2月批准。 Council finance chief Rob Wharton acknowledged the challenges and said savings proposals, including highway cuts, are under review for approval in February.
