Roads: Repairs and Maintenance

Asked by Michael PayneLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 17 December 2024UIN 19124

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to paragraph 3.19 of the Autumn Budget 2024, HC 295, published on 30 October 2024, how much of the £500 million funding for pothole repairs will be awarded to each local authority.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Government takes the condition of local roads very seriously and is committed to maintaining and renewing the local highway network. Each local highway authority is responsible for the condition of its local network. Highway maintenance funding allocations for all local highway authorities for the current financial year are available on gov.uk. The Government will confirm funding allocations for the 2025/26 financial year shortly, and will publish them on gov.uk.
