In November, the Prime Minister announced a massive injection of £8.3 billion into road resurfacing projects across England, funded by cancelling the second phase of HS2.
As a condition of this funding, and to make sure money is being spent on pothole repairs, we required local councils to publish a two-year plan detailing exactly which roads will be repaired with the money.
Surrey County Council's results are in, and they show that as a direct result of the PM rediverting money from HS2, the following roads in Tandridge have been repaired:
- Oxted Road, Godstone
- Copthorne Road, Felbridge
- Antlands Lane, Shipley Bridge
- Featherbed Lane, Warlingham
- Chestnut Copse, Hurst Green
The full data shows that this year, Surrey will be spending almost triple what was spent on roads, pavements, bridges, drainage, safety barriers, and traffic signals in 2019/20.
