Only about 4% of council tax income gets spent on roads, and only about 25% of combined VED and fuel duty income to central government goes towards roads, rest goes into General tax pot. Councils will always cut the things people notice the most to inconvenience the public and build a case for more funding, potholes are becoming an epidemic in pretty much every area, public complaints used to squeeze money out of central government. If all money from motorists was spent on roads they would be gold plated.
