Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding for pothole repairs is available to London boroughs.

Transport policy is devolved to the Mayor of London and Transport for London. It is up to the Mayor to decide how much of the wider funding for London’s transport is passed down to the boroughs, who are also able to use other sources of locally raised income to fund highway maintenance activities in their areas.

This Government takes the condition of local roads very seriously and is committed to maintaining and renewing the local highway network. As part of this, it has a commitment to enable local highway authorities in England to fix up to a million more potholes a year.

The Government will confirm funding allocations for 2025/26 to English local highway authorities in due course.
