As a reminder of why Buckinghamshire's roads are in desperate need of repair we look back at some of the worst cases - scroll through the pictures above.

Buckinghamshire’s roads and pavements will be getting an £11 million overhaul over the coming year, it has been announced today.

More than 100 of the county’s roads will be surfaced as part of the county council's £15.9 million package of investment in road improvements in 2017/18, and bosses say this is in addition to nearly £9 million on routine maintenance - pothole filling, safety fencing, gulley emptying, street lighting - by Transport for Bucks’ (TfB).

The preparatory work is expected to start in April followed by the main surfacing treatments in May.

Transport bosses say they have spent around £110 million since 2011 on road surfacing to “improve, maintain and prolong the life and condition” of Bucks’ road network.

County council transport cabinet member Mark Shaw said that in addition to the annual maintenance by TfB, the county council is making improvements to the network by developing new roads, including the long-awaited £6.05 million A355 Beaconsfield relief road, on which construction is due to start early next year.

He said: “The multi-million pound investment on maintenance is only part of the overall approach the county council has to continually improving and expanding the essential network of roads we have in Buckinghamshire.

“There are ongoing projects across the county, which are strengthening our network, from the Stocklake link road in Aylesbury to the Beaconsfield relief road, which open up the network a little bit further and relieve some of the pressure on more historic roads.

“Using funding from central government and from developers, these essential schemes are supporting the growth and development of Buckinghamshire as a whole, as the county expands and more housing is built.”

The list of roads will be finalised by the end of this month, with bosses saying they will be a “combination of surfaces” needing “priority” treatment through condition testing, and roads chosen by councillors under the guidance of TfB engineers.
