<p>The Government has committed investment of more than £6 billion to highways maintenance
between 2015 and 2021. This funding includes an action fund to help combat potholes
totalling £296 million between 2016 and 2021. The Department published its latest
statistics on road conditions in England in January 2018, which showed that at that
time local classified roads had been improving overall, with fewer local roads to
be considered for maintenance. The Department recognises, however, that the severe
frosts of 2018 are likely to have affected local road quality.</p>
