It has been reported that local councils in England are to receive an extra £420 million to tackle the growing pothole crisis, as part of Chancellor Philip Hammond’s Budget announcement.
The funding is set to be complemented by a £28.8 billion fund to upgrade England's motorways, with £25.5 billion allocated for Highways England for major road upgrades between 2020 and 2025 and £3.5 billion of ‘new money’ for major local routes, which fall under the remits of local councils. The £420 million for potholes is in addition to an existing fund of almost £300 million.
While the funding is welcome, the Labour Party have been quick to criticise the move to invest heavily on major roads, arguing that money should be spent on public transport. This is supported by analysis from the Asphalt Industry Alliance which claims that in excess of £8 billion would be needed for a one-time fix of potholes in England.
