Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of local authorities that bid for pothole funding in 2014-15 were successful.

In April 2014 English local highway authorities were invited to bid for a share of a £168 million Pothole Fund for 2014/15 to repair local roads in England as announced in the March 2014 Budget.

An announcement was made in June 2014. All local highway authorities received a share of the funding as set out in the table available at the following weblink:
