The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to publish options for potential changes to the allocation methodology for capital funding for local highway authorities.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

My Department has not yet set a date for publishing options for potential changes to the highways maintenance block funding formula. The review of the formula will be conducted before 2029/30, the end of the period for which highways maintenance block allocations have already been made.
