Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions officials in his Department have had with Luton Council on funding for road repairs.

Department for Transport officials have regular meetings with Luton Borough Council on a variety of transport related matters, including on local road maintenance issues. The Department is providing Luton with over £2.3 million towards highway maintenance this financial year. It is for each Council to decide on how this funding is utilised based on their highway asset management strategy, needs, and priorities.
