Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to increase funding for road resurfacing in (a) the South West and (b) South West Devon constituency.

This Government takes the condition of local roads seriously and is committed to maintaining and renewing our road network as a priority; on which Ministers will say more in the future.

The responsibility for the maintenance of the local highway network in Devon, including the South West Devon constituency, rests with Devon County Council. In 2024/25, the Department allocated over £59.4 million to Devon County Council, the largest amount any local authority was allocated for highway maintenance.

Further funding for highways maintenance beyond 2024/25 is a matter for the forthcoming Spending Review.
