Most, I believe, are related to road works by the various utility companies - that's water, gas, electricity, cable and telephones.

These are all privatised companies with shareholders who benefit from the profits, so why are the council tax payers having to foot the bill?

I would suggest that the administrators at the roads department at Clapham would be better employed tracking those responsible and reclaiming the moneys on our behalf instead of "re-designing" perfectly serviceable road layouts to accommodate cyclists who were quite happy using the roads, anyway.

Come on, West Sussex County Council - get your act together, get your priorities right and stop wasting our money.
