Karen welcomes £4,456,400 to fix 89,128 potholes, improving day to day journeys and growing the economy in Staffordshire.
Karen has welcomed £4,456,400 to fix 89,128 potholes in Staffordshire to improve roads for drivers, saving them money on repairs, and making it easier to get to work and see family.
The Conservative Government are investing £200 million to fix four million potholes across England. This funding builds on the £2.7 billion of highways maintenance funding, already committed between tax years 2022-25.
New analysis shows Conservative-run councils repaired three times as many potholes on average as Labour-run councils did in the last year. This funding will ensure councils can continue to deliver this quality service for drivers across the country.
Commenting, Karen said:
“Many local people have written to me about potholes and that is why I started my Report a Pothole campaign on my website.
“I am therefore delighted that the Conservative Government is investing £4,456,400 across Staffordshire to fix 89,128 potholes.”
Commenting, Transport Secretary Mark Harper said:
“Potholes are a blight on Britain’s roads.
This latest round of funding shows we are committed to supporting all road users – from motorists to cyclists and bus passengers – and making journeys smoother and safer for all.”
