<p>Department for Transport funding for local highway maintenance is allocated mainly
by formula to local highway authorities at the upper tier, to county councils or unitary
authorities, so we are unable to provide a break down by Parliamentary constituency.
The formula comprises the Needs Element (£725 million in England outside London in
2019/20) and the Incentive/Efficiency Element (£150 million 2019/20). Integrated Transport
Block (ITB) is a formula distribution of capital funding to local transport authorities,
which is designed to fund small-scale local transport improvements, including road
safety measures, public transport and public realm improvements.</p><p> </p><p>In
each of the last three years the Department’s allocation to Surrey County Council
for local highway maintenance and for ITB was as follows:</p><p> </p><p>2017/18 £21.072
million</p><p>2018/19 £21.056 million</p><p>2019/20 £21.034 million</p><p> </p><p>The
proposed allocation for 2020/21 is £21.034 million.</p><p> </p><p>Following Budget
2018, Surrey County Council received a share, £7.409 million, of the £420 million
additional funding announced for England. This was for local highways maintenance
including the repair of potholes, to keep local bridges and structures open and safe,
and to aid other minor highway works.</p><p> </p><p>Surrey County Council has a Private
Finance Initiative for street lighting, for which the revenue grant payment in each
of the last three years was £5.955 million.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, Surrey County
Council has received over £3.7 million in total over the last three years through
the Pothole Action Fund.</p><p> </p>
