The AA has demanded that English authorities put more money back into maintaining their highways using increased parking income.

A survey by the motoring organisation found that 62 per cent of English authorities have cut their budgets for the 2017/18 fiscal year by half a million pounds compared with 2016/17– from £12.1 million to £11.6 million.
