Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps is she taking to help improve the condition of roads built on peatland within the Cambridgeshire fens.

To support local highway authorities in the maintenance of their highway networks, the Government has confirmed a record investment of £7.3 billion for local highways maintenance over the next four years. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority will be eligible for £188 million in highways maintenance funding over this period.

The Government’s record investment over the next four years builds on an investment of £1.6 billion nationally this financial year, a £500 million increase compared to the previous financial year.
