Local roads badly affected by recent winter weather will benefit from a further £100 million to help repair any potholes and other storm damage. This money will help repair almost 2 million potholes as well as help protect the roads from any future severe weather.
This is on top of the £75 million in government funding already given to councils from the Pothole Action Fund this year, as well as the additional £46 million boost for highways authorities announced just before Christmas. Around 7 million potholes will be filled due to this money, announced in the 2016 Budget.
Oxfordshire's allocation of the latest funds amounts to £1,831,494
I said:
"This funding is welcome news for families and businesses in the Henley Constituency. I've been campaigning for a long time for greater investment in road repairs, and I'm encouraging the council to make full use of their allocation locally."
Oxfordshire was given £1,315,000 in the last year and £1,036,000 in the year before that.
