More than 200,000 potholes to be filled on Wales worst and busiest roads
More than 200,000 potholes to be filled on Wales worst and busiest roads Work is now progressing on the A458 in Conwy County, making it one of the first major roads to benefit The Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates checked out the progress on the A458 Conwy County (Image: Welsh Government ) A major Welsh Government initiative is now well underway, with work progressing across Wales to repair and future-proof local roads and pavements. Backed by £10 million in additional revenue funding, the scheme is unlocking up to £120 million in capital investment over the next two years to tackle some of the country's most badly damaged routes. One of the first roads to benefit is the A458 in Conwy County, where resurfacing is now taking place. The extra investments will see around 600km of local roads resurfaced this financial year. Councils will focus on the worst-affected areas, with over 200,000 potholes expected to be fixed and prevented. Pavements will also be repaired in towns and villages across all 22 local authorities, improving everyday journeys for people on foot. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here The scheme has been designed in close partnership with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) and gives every council the support needed to upgrade their local networks. Article continues below The aim is not just to fix current problems but to reduce the need for ongoing repairs by investing in long-term improvements. In Conwy, around 14 kilometres of the A458 between Abergele and Llangernyw is being resurfaced. The work is expected to repair and prevent approximately 4000 potholes. Part of the road has already been completed as part of the scheme, making it one of the first in Wales to benefit. The Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates, visited the road on June 25, to see the work for himself. Mr Skates commented: "Fixing our roads is a priority for this government. Not only are we providing an extra £25m to fix and prevent potholes on our strategic road network, but we are also supporting local authorities to fix local roads. "This will deliver a real difference to communities across Wales, fixing problems now and making our roads more resilient for the future. I look forward to seeing more and more local roads fixed over the next months." Cllr Goronwy Edwards, Conwy's Cabinet Member for Infrastructure, Transport and Facilities, added: "We welcome this funding from Welsh Government to improve the condition of our roads. Article continues below "Our road network is the Council's largest and most valuable asset and is really important to our residents. "Alongside £2M of Council investment, it means we will be spending over £6M this year on road resurfacing - to repair existing potholes and surface treatments to reduce new potholes forming."

The Explorer Joins Ford's Off-Road-Ready Tremor Lineup
The Toughest Option for the Family-Hauling SUV Ford trimmed the Explorer lineup in 2025, from eight variants to just four: Active, ST-Line, ST, and Platinum, effectively dropping the Timberline trim. The decision was aimed at simplifying production, streamlining inventory, and sharpening the Explorer's market identity. But while the new range covered versatility, sportiness, and luxury, something was missing: a truly rugged, trail-ready variant. That void is now filled with the arrival of the 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor. 0:05 / 0:09 2025 Ford Maverick: 4 reasons to love it, 2 reasons to think twice Watch More Joining the Tremor family, which includes the F-150, Expedition, Super Duty, and Maverick, the Explorer finally gains off-road credentials to match its adventurous name. Replacing the discontinued Timberline model, the Tremor marks a more focused approach to outdoor capability, packaged in a midsize SUV that's still built for family use. More than just a styling package, the new Tremor trim is a functional evolution of the Explorer designed for mud, rocks, and everything in between. Purpose-Built Design Visually, the 2026 Explorer Tremor sets itself apart with a tough new look anchored by 18-inch black alloy wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. A signature Electric Spice accent highlights a wheel spoke and is mirrored on the front and rear tow hooks, adding a splash of color to its rugged stance. Ford also fitted auxiliary off-road lighting, and although it hasn't published the approach and departure angles, they've been improved for trail use. An off-road-tuned suspension with recalibrated springs and sway bars raises the ride height by an inch, giving the Tremor better ground clearance. Underbody protection at both ends shields vital components from trail hazards. Inside, the Tremor blends function with premium features. The cabin includes Ford's latest Digital Experience interface, standard Copilot 360 Assist 2.0, and optional BlueCruise 1.5 for hands-free highway driving. Other high-end amenities – like massaging front seats and a 14-speaker B&O sound system – remind drivers that off-roaders can still have creature comforts.

The standard 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four delivers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, while those craving more punch can opt for the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, shared with the Explorer ST and Ranger Raptor, producing 400 hp and 415 lb-ft. Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a full-time 4WD system with a Torsen limited-slip differential. The 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor is set to arrive in dealerships later this year. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but expect it to land between the ST-Line and Platinum trims. For families looking to trade pavement for trails, the Tremor finally gives the Explorer real off-road substance. About the Author Jacob Oliva View Profile
