PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Roads: Redbridge (15 May 2018)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding his Department has allocated to the London Borough of Redbridge to tackle potholes in each year since 2010.

Asked by:
Wes Streeting (Labour)

Answer

The Department for Transport receives representations from a variety of organisations, including the Local Government Association and local highway authorities, regarding funding for local highways maintenance. Ministers have met the Local Government Association to discuss a range of issues including highways maintenance.

The responsibility for local highways maintenance in London, including repairing potholes, is a devolved matter and therefore falls to Transport for London and the London Boroughs. Since 2010, the Department for Transport has allocated the London Borough of Redbridge with additional funding, on top of the GLA funding, to help repair potholes as set out in the table below.
