The roadworks that so many of you have written to me about are complete, ahead of schedule, and in time for Easter!

Well done to the road crews for achieving this milestone, and thanks to the dedicated Public Liaison Officer for keeping my team in the loop.

Green addendum Addendum by the Green Group Transport and Environment Committee 2 April 2026 Item 6.1 Business Bulletin Continental Crossing Legislation Committee: 1. Notes the update on Continental Crossing Legislation and the reply from the Cabinet Secretary included in the appendix; 2. Notes the suggestion in the reply from the Cabinet Secretary that Transport Scotland is prepared to engage with CoSLA and SCOTS on this issue. 3. Further notes Transport for All’s research that reported 72% of disabled people support giving greater priority and investment for low-cost solutions, such as zebra crossings at side roads, and highlights the ‘Transforming Mobility: including disabled people in transport planning’ report from the Walk Wheel Cycle Trust who put ‘Prioritise people crossing side roads’ in their top ideas to put disabled people at the heart of transforming mobility. 4. Therefore agrees that council officers will contact CoSLA and SCOTS to express the council’s support for a change in the legislation to allow continental zebra crossings, and will engage with these organisations to try to move this work forward, and will provide an update on progress in the business bulletin within four cycles.

I wonder how many hours of our lives are wasted by queuing for things or being stuck at road works and traffic lights? If today was anything to go by then it’s a substantial amount.
I have to admit I went “full Basil Fawlty” on North Bridge.

There's some roadworks that have been taking place on the Shropshire/Worcestershire border for TWO YEARS.
So far, we've seen people working there for about 3 days drilling holes and pouring concrete down them.
Time for a birthday party!

Fljótsdalshreppur says Vegagerðin owes it up to 200 million ISK - RÚV.is Fljótsdalshreppur wants to recover an old debt and says it may be owed up to ISK 200.000.000 by Vegagerðin (Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration).

#Fljótsdalshreppur lent #Vegagerðin substantial sums after the 2008 financial crash to enable #roadworks to go ahead. The #municipality now wants to attempt to recover up to #ISK 200.000.000 that went into roads the state should have funded.

Upgrading key Bridgwater roundabout would have 'limited benefit' to locals A planned upgrade to the Cross Rifles roundabout in Bridgwater was scrapped by Somerset Council in 2024 - much to the chagrin of the local MP

The original plans to upgrade the Cross Rifles roundabout in #Bridgwater would have delivered "limited benefit" to local drivers and led to 18 months of #roadworks, #Somerset Council has stated: www.bridgwatermercury.co.uk/news/2577577... #LDReporter #levellingupfund #A38 #A39

It's the end of the road at the edge of the city. Roadworks have traffic in gridlock.

Drivers facing major delays as three Coventry roads closed for resurfacing Work started in Holbrooks this week (January 7)

Large brown dog in a red coat, standing in front of a red metal barrier across a snowy road. Behind is a lonely digger, stranded mid-work. There is also a massive hole in the road, which the dog is cheekily turning round to grin / ask permission from me to investigate.

We also found a stranded digger and Great Big Hole, which Lusha is very eager to explore (me less so).

Why do roadworks take so long in the UK? The BBC’s Politics Live has asked why roadworks take so long to be completed in the UK, with a call for contributions from the public - so let’s dive in.

Why do roadworks take so long in the UK? The answer is about underfunding – and a vicious cycle Terry Pratchett explained decades ago.
