Surreys roads are slated as third world quality.
March 9, 2008 12:00 PM
The poor condition of the roads and pavements continues to cause concern to our residents. Recently patched pot-holes have lifted in the recent frost. The highway contractors have been continually criticised for their under performance and overcharging, but nevertheless the Tory Council have recently extended their contracts for a further two years until April 2011.
The proposed capital expenditure on Surrey's roads is a 13% cut of over this year's expenditure (around £4m) and the lowest for five years. This completely fails to tackle the massive £200m backlog of road repairs needed to bring the county's roads up to a reasonable standard.
The Lib Dems have criticised this misguided decision.
