The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 3 June 2025 to Question 54084 on Roads: Fylde, what proportion of the £500 million funding uplift for local highway maintenance was allocated to Lancashire.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Details about local highway maintenance funding allocations and what authorities must do to receive incentive funding are all available on gov.uk. The first thing authorities must do is to publish a report on their websites by the end of June providing information on various matters including how they are planning to spend the funding, and what the overall condition of their road network is.

Lancashire have been allocated an uplift in local highway maintenance funding of up to £12,308,000 for local highway maintenance in 2025/26, subject to them meeting the incentive criteria set out on gov.uk. This represents 2.46% of the total uplift of £500,000,000 across England.
