British road workers can’t buy bitumen to plug potholes.
In the UK, employees of road services cannot afford to buy bitumen in order to plug potholes.
According to the Daily Mail, the road workers do not have enough money for this.
The culprit of such a situation in the UK was called Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The publication notes that before the start of the SVO, about 60% of bitumen used for road repairs in the UK was supplied from Russia.
Now the authorities have to normalize the consumption of the material and search for it in other markets, and this increases the costs and deadlines of the work.
The cost of maintaining roads in England and Wales has increased by 22%. In addition, the repair time was delayed.
Experts estimated the costs of correcting the situation at $14 billion.
