Written Question
Roads: Repairs and Maintenance
Thursday 12th January 2017

Asked by: Pauline Latham (Conservative - Mid Derbyshire)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to improve the condition of local roads.

Answered by Andrew Jones

The Department’s road condition statistics highlight that local classified roads are improving, with fewer requiring maintenance. The Government is providing local highway authorities with over £6 billion between 2015 and 2021 for highways maintenance. We will soon be announcing how we will allocate a further £185 million for 2017/18 financial year, in addition to over £1 billion already committed, to improve the condition of local roads.
