  "The share of the length of local authority managed roads in England where maintenance should have been considered, DfT's red category, each financial year, as councils' surveys measured it.",
  "DfT's regional and national figures include only the councils that supplied data, and England's excludes Derbyshire from the year to March 2019 on.",
  "DfT says unclassified roads are surveyed differently, so their figures are not comparable with the classified roads'.",
  "DfT gives no representative figure for London for the years to March 2020, 2021 and 2022, for insufficient data coverage or known data-quality issues.",
  "The year to March 2026 is the last on this method: from April 2026 councils survey to the PAS 2161 standard, which is not comparable with it."
