The Times
The Times' analysis of road quality is being cited in discussions about the condition of roads in Richmond upon Thames.
In November 2026, a resident told Richmond Council's Transport and Air Quality Committee that the borough's roads are among the worst in England. The resident cited analysis by The Times, which ranked Richmond as having the second-worst roads in England, behind only Derbyshire. Concerns were raised that the share of roads rated amber or red has increased from 35% to 41%.
The resident also noted that Richmond Council has no specific targets for road quality in its performance indicators. The Times is a British daily national newspaper. A government transparency report had previously rated Richmond Council’s road quality as “amber”.
