Good point, well made but too conveniently ignored so often.2 different councils innit. Devon County responsible for potholes.
ECC has no administration over the highways network in Exeter. That power resides with the (predominantly Conservative) Council based in Topsham Road. Who also have the control (and resulting bunce) from all on-street parking in our City.
Sadly, having lost their former captive cash-points in Torbay & Plymouth, they have historically fought tooth and nail to deny our City similar Unitary status.
Incidentally the Cabinet Member behind many of these hare-brained schemes has long been Cllr Stuart Hughes of Sidmouth. Once, famously, of the Monster Raving Loony Party, but for a long time now, of the even more Monstrously Raving Tory Party.
