'Dissatisfied' seems to be the general view.
Members of the panel were asked to rate their satisfaction with services provided by the County Council, and they don't make pleasent reading.

Looking through some of the results, it would seem that 49% are dissatisfied with new roads and road improvements, 69% are dissatisfied with road maintenance whilst 52% are dissatisfied with traffic management. 68% of the panellists felt that more money should be put itnto the maintenance of existing roads.

Dissatisfaction also reaches a high level with transport co-ordination (sic) and the bus services, with 43% respondents dissatisfied in some way.

On a non WCC item, 77% felt that the licensed trade should contribute directly to the cost of additional policing, as a result of the forthcoming changes to the Licensing Act.
