“The declining state of England’s local roads is a national embarrassment. As well as harming the prospects for our economy and communities’ own social wellbeing, highways riddled with potholes pose an increasing safety threat to road users.” i
The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Better Roads aims to promote an understanding of the importance of the highway network as well as promote the safety, environmental, economic and social case for a properly maintained sustainable network across the UK.
Active for many years, including under its previous name the APPG for Highways, the group has reformed following the 2024 General Election under a new Chair, Rebecca Paul MP.
The Group is supported by the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA) and Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE). The Asphalt Industry Alliance is a partnership between the Mineral Products Association and Eurobitume. The Mineral Products Association acts as the Group’s secretariat.
