We're continuing to invest in Surrey's roads and our Highways team continue to work hard to tackle the number of potholes across the network.
In response to these issues exacerbated by the recent weather and damage done to the road surface caused by utility companies, we have:
Repaired 1,500 potholes a week on our 3000 miles of road
Boosted the numbers of gangs (100-200% over business-as-usual levels) to carry out repairs
Spent £188m on roads between 2020-25 and allocated extra resources for our roads months ago. This Conservative administration will be spending more on road maintenance this year, next year and every year going forward
Provided each Surrey County Councillor with a £100k capital budget p/a to spend on local highway issues. This Conservative-led initiative ensures greater control over highways related matters sits with local elected representatives
Continued to deliver the remaining resurfacing schemes for 2022/23 & preparing for next year's planned maintenance schemes so they are ready to go in April. The programme next year will see 250 planned road schemes delivered across Surrey which will be in addition to the capital patching schemes.
