This represents an increase of around 30% compared to the previous year, made possible in part by reallocating funding that would otherwise have been spent on the HS2 programme.</p><p> </p><p>The Department annually collects and publishes statistics on gov.uk that detail the condition and maintenance of the highways in England. This includes total expenditure on the local highway network in England, broken down by structural maintenance, routine treatments, and highways planning and strategy on different categories of road:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/road-condition-statistics-data-tables-rdc" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/road-condition-statistics-data-tables-rdc</a></p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 24/04/2024 15:06:33 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
