Investment has been announced to tackle the potholes that are a frequent sight on English roads<\/a>, but there is a catch for councils to keep the money<\/h2>\n

The investment will consist of \u00a31.6bn spread across all English councils, however, these local authorities will be liable to lose their share if they cannot provide evidence of adequate pothole spending.<\/p>\n

The investment includes a \u00a3500m, which they claim is enough to fill 7m potholes per year.<\/p>\n

Proof of pothole spending will increase transparency for the public<\/h3>\n

The funding will be issued to councils from mid-April, but proof of pothole spending must be published as of today, 24 March 2025. The reports must be annual, and demonstrate both progress and confidence in the work undertaken.<\/p>\n

If councils do not meet these expectations, they will lose 25% of the investment (\u00a3125m).<\/p>\n

The first report must be published by 30 June 2025, with details on pothole spending, the number of potholes filled, and what percentage of roads under their authority are in what condition. Measures taken to minimise disruption and spending on longer-term preventative maintenance must also be demonstrated.<\/p>\n

By the end of October, it will also be required to demonstrate that communities have a say on what work is being undertaken and where via a new dedicated online portal<\/a> allowing them to report pothole roads to their local council.<\/p>\n

A new road project has also been announced<\/h3>\n

Alongside this announcement is the first details of a new National Highways scheme for the delivery and maintenance of motorways and major A-roads.<\/p>\n

The scheme will include hurrying the A428 Black Cat scheme in Cambridgeshire, improving the A47 in Norwich, and improving the M3 J9 scheme in Hampshire.<\/p>\n

Prime minister, Keir Starmer, said: \u201cThe broken roads we inherited are not only risking lives but also cost working families, drivers and businesses hundreds \u2013 if not thousands of pounds \u2013 in avoidable vehicle repairs. Fixing the basic infrastructure this country relies on is central to delivering national renewal, improving living standards and securing Britain\u2019s future through our Plan for Change.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only are we investing an additional \u00a34.8bn to deliver vital road schemes and maintain major roads across the country to get Britain moving, next month we start handing councils a record \u00a31.6bn to repair roads and fill millions of potholes across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cBritish people are bored of seeing their politicians aimlessly pointing at potholes with no real plan to fix them. That ends with us. We\u2019ve done our part by handing councils the cash and certainty they need \u2013 now it\u2019s up to them to get on with the job, put that money to use and prove they\u2019re delivering for their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, said:\u00a0\u201cAfter years of neglect we\u2019re tackling the pothole plague, building vital roads and ensuring every penny is delivering results for the taxpayer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public deserves to know how their councils are improving their local roads, which is why they will have to show progress or risk losing 25% of their \u00a3500m funding boost.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Plan for Change is reversing a decade of decline and mending our pothole-ridden roads which damage cars and make pedestrians and cyclists less safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
