£200m funding boost for UK road improvements

Transport Minister Jesse Norman has announced a £200m funding boost to help improve the condition of local roads across the UK.

In a statement issued today (14 December), the Department for Transport (DfT) said that funding will go towards repairing almost 1 million potholes, and will also be used for highways maintenance, developing new technologies to improve highways resilience, and “high quality cycle parks”.

The DfT statement added: “The next round of the local highways maintenance incentive fund was also launched today with £151 million to reward councils for efficiently planning roads maintenance. This money is part of just over £6 billion to authorities to help keep their roads in a good condition.

“A new £500,000 competition will also challenge councils to develop pilot projects of new connected technologies for the collection of road condition and pothole data.”
