Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his planned timeframe is for assessing the effectiveness of the annual local authority road maintenance survey 2024.

Each year the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA) commissions an independent survey of local authority highway authorities in England, including London, and Wales.

According to the AIA report, the aim of the survey is to take a snapshot of the general condition of the local road network based on information provided directly by those responsible for its maintenance.

The Department considers the report, along with a range of other evidence, when we are bidding to His Majesty’s Treasury (HMT).
