There are many thousands at work every day out on our public highways providing a vital service allow us as public road users to move around freely and safely.

This abuse needs to end.

Why Stamp it Out?

Road worker abuse is a growing problem on both the local and strategic road networks in the UK, affecting the physical and mental health and wellbeing of road workers on an alarmingly regular basis.

Past incidents have been so severe, they have involved knives, shotguns and crossbows being pulled on workers as they go about their daily tasks.

“We have thousands of our people working every day on the Public Highway and their vital service should never be underestimated. Suffering physical or psychological abuse when undertaking this dangerous work is totally unacceptable and we absolutely must Stamp It Out”
