I for one, would gladly pay a Road Tax to fund this essential name change and the executives who drive this change.

I am not really bothered what they call the organisation, I just want it to do it's job, as efficiently and effectively as possible, preferably, without employing (in highly paid jobs) "friends" of which ever Government happens to be in power.

 

[Drago]

Fair point though. Each change of name is pointless and costs money. If i were a government hatchet man ( and it must surely be any day now until I get the call) then whoever comes up with these name changes would be identified as someone with nothing productive to do and their neck would be on the chopping block.

Yorkshire Lanes.

Can't be National Highways if it only covers England. And then not all roads in England.

Name change cost £7m. The fall out over the Manchester lockdown today was over £5m.

Highways Agency [as was] only covers national trunk roads and motorways... all other roads are maintained by the Local Authorities.

Sounds about right, now which is the most important? Yes lining your mates pockets, stuff Manchester, they have no shame.

Cannot be Highways UK if it only covers England. Usual arrogant London assumption.
