answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2023 answer text <p>Across England, local highway authorities are receiving an additional £150 million this financial year as the first instalment of the £8.3 billion roads resurfacing fund through Network North.</p><p>This is in addition to the £915 million baseline funding for 2023/24 for those English highway authorities which are outside London and outside the Mayoral Combined Authority areas in receipt of City Region Sustainable Settlements, for whom separate arrangements apply. It is also in addition to the £200 million increase for the 2023/24 financial year that was announced at Budget 2023.</p><p>All eligible highway authorities in England will receive a further uplift from the additional £150 million that is also being provided in 2024/2025. Further details of how the rest of the £8.3 billion will be allocated will be announced in due course, this is anticipated to take place at a future Spending Review.</p><p>The tables below provide confirmed funding levels for 2023 to 2024 and 2024 to 2025, and the indicative minimum additional funding allocations between 2023 to 2024 and 2033 to 2034 inclusive.</p><p>Local Authority
