<p>The Government has recently announced a £8.3 billion funding uplift for roads resurfacing
across England between 2023/24 – 2033/34. As part of this it has provided the London
Borough of Bexley Council with an additional £275,000 in 2023/24 and will provide
a further £275,000 in 2024/25.</p><p> </p><p>This money has been provided directly
to the respective London Borough rather than via the Mayor of London. At a national
level, the Department publishes statistics on gov.uk on the condition and maintenance
of the highways in England.</p><p> </p><p>Ultimately, however, under the 1980 Highway
Act it is the responsibility of the local highway authority, in this case the London
Borough of Bexley Council, to maintain and manage the highway network they are responsible
for. In London, transport is a devolved matter, and the overall state of London’s
roads is a matter for the Mayor.</p><p> </p>
