(asked on 6th July 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of road conditions.
This question was answered on 13th July 2023
The Department takes the condition of our roads very seriously, and is providing £5.5 billion of highways maintenance capital funding for English local highways authorities over this Parliament. It is also working with the British Standards Institute and the Transport Research Laboratory to develop a new standard for assessing road condition. This will help authorities identify, assess, and deal with road defects, including potholes.
