Epping Forest roads are in the worst condition in Essex, according to a study.
Vehicles were adapted with lasers which skimmed every road surface in Essex, as part of the county council research.
Despite a 7.2 per cent improvement in road conditions compared to figures compiled three years ago, the study revealed 4.4 per cent of the district’s roads need repairing.
The state of the district’s roads was brought to national attention recently when presenter and actor Bradley Walsh, who lives locally, described them as a “shocker” on BBC’s The One Show.
