Article summary

The Department for Transport has launched a review into the ‘mapping of potholes driven by data from on-road businesses', following the government’s increase in road repairs during the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown. The review will be supported by data from various businesses, including Deliveroo, Uber, Tesco and Ocado, aiming to identify ‘hotspots’ for repair. Quieter roads during coronavirus has enabled approximately 319 miles of resurfacing works and this review aims to further increase this work to make roads safer before schools reopen.
