Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to paragraph 3.17 of the Autumn Statement 2016, whether the £1.1 billion investment in local transport networks is in addition to the pothole action fund.
The £1.1 billion investment in local transport networks is in addition to the £250 million pothole action fund. The £1.1 billion will be allocated for local highway improvements which aims to either reduce congestion at key locations, upgrade or improve the maintenance of local highway assets across the country, or unlock economic and job creation opportunities. Further details will be announced in due course.
