Boris and Hook Road?….well nearly!

A new series of initiatives against disruptive road works has been announced by Boris Johnson Mayor of London. Boris has set up a website to help people spot and report neglected road works.

A road work’s pledge, outlining standards which allow authorities to take swifter action, was also announced.

Boris said ‘Road works are a massive headache for Londoners. We are now putting in place better ways to empower Londoners to name and shame those who blight our city with disruptive or badly managed road works. These reports will be followed up by swift action by the relevant authority to help unclog roads suffering from unnecessary delays.’

The pledge also states road works should be tidy and safe, have clear signage and not take up too much space.
