I report the potholes I see to the local council. I have a very long list to send them!

Not sure about more roads, but I completely agree about the state of the ones we've got!
Perhaps a start, before we begin building too many new routes, would be a thorough prune of all the needless restrictions designed to increase congestion and thus justify Draconian controls: pointless bus lanes, cycle lanes that no cyclist dare use, obstructive bus stands, needless one-way systems, traffic "calming" devices and the like.
Who knows? Maybe then we wouldn't need new roads? Or, at least, perhaps not so many!

Following my unpleasant and messy squashing under a car while I was in a cycle lane, I now stick to pavements. Do away with them, I don't use them any more...

Have never seen the point in cycle lanes.I have never seen anyone around my area use them..Apart from motorcyclist trying to dodge the traffic..I think they are a waste of road space..Bus lanes are another point.In my area council have spent untold cash on a small stretch of road which I think gives buses approx 600/800 yds free road space..they still get held up after this point.As no more on route.Whats the point??.
They also give the bus routes a better road surface-what do we get/potholes

An elderly neighbour of mine was knocked down by a cyclist as she walked out of her drive onto the pavement. She suffered a broken hip/leg which resulted in her having to have the limb amputated. The wound developed gangrene from which she subsequently (prematurely) died.
