The first Road Investment Strategy brought over £15bn of investment to England\u2019s strategic roads between 2015-2020. This included a number of schemes improving many of the strategic road links on the Reading-Gatwick road corridor.<\/p>

<\/p>

At Budget 2018, the Chancellor announced that the National Roads Fund will be £28.8 billion from 2020-2025. We expect £25.3 billion of this will fund the Roads Investment Strategy 2, which is the largest ever investment in England\u2019s strategic roads.<\/p>

Consistent increases by this government to the personal allowance have also increased the Marriage Allowance, as it is linked.
