We were in Surrey last year for Morgans at Brooklands, organised by a Taffmog member who lives in Surrey.
Their roads are not good. The traffic density is huge, hence poorer roads. Population is not dense enough to generate extra Council Tax to counteract the traffic.
The roads here in Carmarthenshire vary from good to utter c**p. Money is found for speed bumps/traffic calming but potholes ....no. Just an occasional limited purge.
I hate the use of chippings thrown onto bitumen as they neve seem to clean up the excess/loose chippings effectively or in a short time. Same for re-lining afterwards.
The latest boast from the Council Leader is the extension of cycle paths...really ell (expensive) constructions that I rarely see cyclists use, Months of traffic hold ups during construction for little use. Last week the leader was proudly extolling their expansion. I believe there is EU money coming in to help but still....better uses abound. They could build more walls on roundabouts (cynical comment).
There are also building projects that have created road problems. Housing and therefore access and extra traffic. Long queues. More planned causing rat runs to be generated to avoid choke points.....
OK...rant over.
