Down in Kent the motorways have potholes! It seems to be getting worse.  |

Many roads in Swansea are quite bad. Usually full of potholes or quite rough and loads of dips an grooves where it's been dug up before for whatever reason.

Not great around here, Bucks, Oxon and Northants take little care over surfaces. Potholes can do enormous damage to car alignment etc. Surely this is not safe. |

Dumfries and galoways roads are a joke, go south to cumbria and they improve. north again as soon as you leave D&G they suddenly improve.

Whats worse is that councils are now spending more more on the compinsation claims for repairs than what it would cost to repair the roads
