"The results were 100%, actually. There was no road which my engineer said `No, we shouldn't be doing what they're telling us to do on these roads."
"The Gaist survey provided a much higher level of accurate data so Via East Midlands and Nottinghamshire County Council could effectively build up a real picture from the desktop of what condition its unclassified roads were in and what needed to be prioritised. It now has clear evidence to back up its decisions and with the ability to combine with other available data it can better inform on maintenance strategy and investment decisions. The survey also provided us with a solid body of evidence to help with funding bids, maintenance strategy as well as being able to provide explanations in a more scientific way to its various stakeholders."
