The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to improve road (a) maintenance and (b) conditions in (i) South Holland and the Deepings constituency and (ii) Lincolnshire.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

This Government takes the condition of local roads seriously and is committed to maintaining and renewing our road network as a priority, on which Ministers will say more in future.

Maintenance of the local highway network within Lincolnshire, including the constituency of South Holland and the Deepings, is the responsibility of Lincolnshire County Council. For 2024/25, Lincolnshire County Council has been allocated over £43.6 million to help it maintain its local highway network. Future funding beyond 2024/25 is matter for the next Spending Review.
