tabling member constituency	Manchester Central
tabling member printed	Lucy Powell
uin	65897
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2017 answer text <p>The latest data available regarding spend on roads, in England outside London, including roads maintenance in each region is from the Treasury’s country-and-regional-analysis-2016 data. The table below which gives details of the total spend and per capita spend per region is based on this data.</p><p> </p><p>However, it should first be recognised that figures showing road maintenance spend per head of population need to be interpreted with care. Spending on road maintenance in any given region will be driven more by factors such as the nature of the highway asset (which includes not just roads but also bridges, lighting, footways and structures) in that region and the number or density of roads and highway assets in that region than necessarily by how many people live there.</p><p> </p><p>Further, in terms of spending on national roads such as motorways, whilst the spending is allocated statistically to the region in which the maintenance is carried out this will benefit not just those people in that region but also those travelling across the country from other regions and using that motorway.</p><p> </p><p>In terms of spending on local roads, whilst the Department for Transport allocates roads maintenance funding to local highway authorities, this funding is not ring-fenced and how much each local highway authority in any given region chooses to spend on highways maintenance will reflect their own local priorities.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="5"><p>Current spend: Local roads and National roads
