While London was excluded from the table, the research did reveal that Bromley was the borough of the capital with the highest number of reported roadworks over the same three year period with 100,210 which was more than most entire cities.

It had less than Slough (1,350), Middlesborough (1,563), Huddersfield (1,664) and Brighton and Hove (3,734)
