Yesterday, DfT published its latest Road Condition in England statistics, an annual process for councils.
This year the main findings are that local ‘A’ roads that should have been considered for maintenance was 4%, unchanged for the past 3 years. ‘B’ and ‘C’ roads that should have be considered for maintenance was 6%, unchanged for the past 6 years. Unclassified roads that should have been considered for maintenance was 15%, a small improvement from 17% in the previous 12 months.
However unclassified roads continue to see greater yearly fluctuations than other roads.
