<p>In 2023/24 the Government provided Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council
with £6.24 million of capital funding for local highway maintenance. This was an increase
of around 30% compared to the previous year, made possible in part by reallocating
£604,000 of funding that would otherwise have been spent on the HS2 programme. In
total, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council will receive an uplift of over
£18 million over the next decade as a result of the decision to reallocate HS2 funding.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>It is up to Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council to determine
how best to use this funding based on local needs, priorities and circumstances. Bournemouth,
Christchurch & Poole Council has published on its website details of how it intends
to spend the additional funding the Government has provided (https://www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/roads-and-transport/projects-plans-and-consultations/highway-maintenance)</p>
