Monday 30th April 2018

Asked by: Paula Sherriff (Labour - Dewsbury)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on Government support for local authorities to maintain local roads.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

The Secretary of State for Transport meets regularly with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government to discuss a wide range of issues.

The Department for Transport is allocating over £6 billion in capital funding to support local highway authorities in England, outside London, to maintain the roads for which they are responsible. This includes a £296 million pothole action fund in order to repair potholes and to stop them forming.

The funding is not ring-fenced and it is entirely for each authority to determine how their funding allocation is utilised based on their needs and priorities.
