Various local councils across the UK are allocating significant funds for road repairs and improvements. Derbyshire County Council faces criticism for ineffective patch-up repair jobs on roads, with concerns raised by residents and politicians about the state of the roads. Other councils, such as West Sussex, Coventry, and Kent, are also investing millions to address potholes and road maintenance issues.

Thank you for raising this @tobyperkinsmp Potholes now becoming a real danger to road users across the county. Totally ineffective response by Derbyshire County Council. County wide failure to maintain roads now and over the years. https://t.co/K0GVDhBKvN
Thank you @tobyperkinsmp for highlighting the dire state of the roads across Derbyshire which have been labelled the worse in the country. This is indeed a 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘅, imposed by the Tories at @Derbyshirecc & Westminster, and Derbyshire road users are paying the price: https://t.co/pg7PBvNFPj
Totally right @tobyperkinsmp the county councils in both Notts and Derbys simply do not have the money to actually resurface roads and can only patch, not permanently fix. https://t.co/swXzDUmeR0
📺WATCH📺 Look what happened when I raised the state of the roads in Conservative-run Derbyshire in Parliament today. Tory Minister said Tory Council has had enough money. Council Leader says, "it doesn't touch the sides". Who's right? https://t.co/dRz1yLPlck
I promised I would raise state of roads under Conservative-run Derbyshire County Council in parliament Will show exchange but Minister seems to think that DCC leader is wrong & they’ve had plenty of money. I dont. Though the patch-up repair jobs DCC do are ineffective. https://t.co/keHFek2nla
Well said @tobyperkinsmp I’ve had to shell out for a new tyre and rear spring broken by hitting potholes in @Derbyshirecc #Chesterfield
