Roads: South Holland and the Deepings
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will provide additional funding for pothole repair in South Holland and the Deepings constituency.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Government is committed to tackling the poor state of our roads. In 2025-26, we provided an additional £16 million to invest a total of £60 million in improving the condition of Lincolnshire County Council’s local highways. The Spending Review announced that the Government will provide £24 billion of capital funding between 2026-27 and 2029-30 to maintain and improve roads across the country. This funding increase will significantly improve the long-term condition of England’s road network. Future funding allocations for local authorities and their highways, including Lincolnshire, will be announced in due course.
