Road restored at last - but why not do all resurfacing at one time

Lovely new smooth surface at Horsell Moor

I am delighted to report that the access roads to Horsell Moor have finally been resurfaced.  

Both roads were in a dreadful state, totally beyond just having a few potholes filled.  They now have a lovely smooth surface.

This is a great improvement on the situation a few weeks ago when the road was just a mass of water filled potholes.

Dreadful potholed surface

The 'before' picture shows the state the road had been in for more than a year. 

What I struggle to understand is why the whole road could not be resurfaced at one time.

Horsell Moor from the Cricket Club to Arthur's Bridge, including the entry road between the club and the children's playground was resurfaced more than a year ago.

Residents were very angry about this work as they were asked to move their vehicles off the road and then found the main part of the road was not resurfaced.

The other two entry paths are now done but the main part of the road is not scheduled for work until next year.

i just can't understand why Surrey take this piecemeal approach to road repairs.
