answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>Highways England has been tasked and funded to deliver maintenance of the strategic road network as part of the Government’s Road Investment Strategy up to 2019/20. The total planned maintenance spend for 2018/19 and 2019/20 is £2.1billion. The Government and Highways England believe that this funding will keep the Strategic Road Network in a safe and serviceable condition over this period. The Office of Rail and Road’s most recent annual assessment of Highways England’s performance, for 2017/18, reports that Highways England has improved the condition of its road network during the year and it is meeting its target to have at least 95% of the network in a good condition.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/10/2018 09:07:57 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2018 answer text <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> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/10/2018 13:13:19 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
