DfT Ministers are always happy to meet with MPs. In this financial year (2022/23), the Department is providing Cumbria County Council with over £33 million in highways maintenance funding.
As per section 41 of the Highways Act 1980, it is up to Cumbria County Council as the local highway authority to decide how best they maintain their respective local highway network, including Rigmaden bridge, based on local needs and priorities.
