Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding has been allocated to road (a) maintenance and (b) investment in (i) Fylde constituency and (ii) Lancashire in 2025–26.

The Government takes the condition of the country’s roads very seriously and is committed to supporting local highway authorities across the country in maintaining and renewing the local highway network and tackling the maintenance backlog. The Government has already announced a funding uplift of £500 million for local highway maintenance for the 2025/26 financial year.

Lancashire County Council is the local highway authority for the Fylde constituency and has been allocated up to a maximum of £46.8 million for 2025/26 pending successful completion of the incentive measures announced in March 2025. Funding is not ring-fenced, and it is entirely a matter for Lancashire County Council how it is spent.
