The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has stated that a £2.3m settlement from National Highways for disruption caused by M23/M25 roadworks at its Wisley garden is far short of the £13m in losses it suffered. The improvement works at junction 10 of the M25 and A3 led to road closures, diversions, and 350,000 fewer visitors annually between 2022 and 2026. While describing the process as long and resource-heavy, the RHS noted that the funds will help support its charitable work and community programmes.
