Bucks has the worst standard of roads

I’m increasingly fed up with the condition of our roads. Last December a rain covered hole in the A355 main road in Farnham Common wrecked my tyre. After six months, I finally get a conclusion from the council saying that they inspect the roads every month and won't be paying the claim. To me this is a get-out clause for poor standard road inspections and a lack of action investing tax payers money on road safety. Virtually every A and B road around Bucks is now infested with potholes and having driven in several other counties recently Bucks is by far the worst standard of roads. The claimed investment in road repairs after the last cold spell is a long time coming. Am I a lone voice in this frustration with a lack of action?
