Roads: Aldershot

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that (a) roads are adequately maintained and (b) potholes are fixed in a timely manner in Aldershot constituency.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Government takes the condition of local roads very seriously and is committed to maintaining and renewing the local road network. Hampshire County Council (HCC) is the local highway authority for the Aldershot constituency, and it is therefore responsible for the maintenance of the local road network. HCC will receive £37.7 million from this Department during 2024/25 to enable it to carry out its local highway maintenance responsibilities. Funding for future years is a matter for the Spending Review.
