Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much of the pothole fund has been allocated to Barnsley in each year since 2010.
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is a constituent member of the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority. Since 2015 highway maintenance block funding has been paid directly to Sheffield City Region Combined Authority.
The funding provided by the Department for Transport for highway maintenance, including pothole repair, to Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and the Sheffield City Region Combined Authority since 2010 is shown in the table below.

Note: In August 2012 Sheffield City Council entered into a 25-year Highway Maintenance Private Finance Initiative. The Department provides Sheffield City Council with a fixed payment of £47.664 million per annum to fund the contract, and in consequence the Council is no longer eligible for separate highway maintenance funding.
