Additional Department for Transport funding
In November 2023, the Department for Transport published details of £8.3 billion in extra funding for local road resurfacing. £3.3 billion was allocated for the North of England.
The funding is part of the Network North plan to improve journeys for all. It provides long-term certainty to local authorities.
We received funding, unlocked from the government’s Network North Plan, for additional resurfacing in 2023/24 and 2024/25.
