Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to her Department's publication entitled Local highway authority highways maintenance ratings and underlying metric scores, 2025, of 11 January 2026, when she plans to update the road condition datasets with (a) 2024 and (b) 2025 data.

The Department will update the local road maintenance ratings on an annual basis. Each update will use the most recent road condition data available at the time of publication. The current ratings already incorporate road condition statistics for the financial year ending 2024.

Future ratings will incorporate datasets from the financial year ending 2025 and, if available at the time of publication, from the financial year ending 2026.
