Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding his Department allocated to Lincolnshire County Council for road repairs in each year since 2015.
The Department has allocated a total of £358.9 million capital grant funding through formula to Lincolnshire County Council for highway maintenance for the financial years 2015/16 to 2023/24.
This consists of £246.4 million for the Highways Maintenance Block (needs and incentive elements), £83.6 million for Pothole Action Fund, Potholes Fund, and Wet Weather Fund, £20.6 million from Budget top ups, and £4.9 million from the redirected HS2 funding as part of Network North.
