Roads: Hitchin
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to fund road maintenance in Hitchin constituency.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
This Government takes the condition of local roads very 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 Hertfordshire, including the constituency of Hitchin, is the responsibility of Hertfordshire County Council. For 2024/25, Hertfordshire County Council has been allocated over £ 25 million to help it maintain its local highway network.
Future funding beyond 2024/25 is a matter for the next Spending Review.
