Too busy spending it on illegal wars to have any to put back into the road network.
Major problem around this area it the saving has lead to a lot of patches instead of proper repairs and not so many roads require resurfacing all at the same time, just throwing a barrow of mac into the hole and getting the whacker on it is not working long term. They have even tried to say that in some areas it's traffic calming, but having wheels bouncin over the surface and gravel holes can't be that calming as the best brakes with the best ABS system in the world won't stop you if the wheels are tarmac, hole, gravel, hole, tarmac.
Oh yeah that and obviously we've had "weather" over the last few years and that has really ruined the roads, not the under management or cost saving over the last 15 years just this new fangled weather thing.
Everyone could hold back their Road Fund Licence or TAX as it is not used just for the road network but goes into the pot, on the grounds that we're engaged in an illegal war but not sure it'll help with the state of the roads.
That or i'm going to have to slow down to 50 or something.
