Lancashire councillors have earmarked nearly £28m to repair potholes as part of a larger investment package in the county’s highways infrastructure over the next year.

The county council has agreed to invest £61m into local highways to improve everything from roads and bridges to traffic signals and streetlights.

Nearly £47m of this investment came from the Department for Transport, while £15m was from Lancashire County Council.

The council has also pledged an additional £45m over the next three years as part of the approved 2025/26 budget.

Cllr Rupert Swarbrick, cabinet member for Highways and Transport, commented: ‘This significant investment reaffirms our commitment to ensuring that Lancashire's roads – which support more than 4.6 million journeys every day – are safe, reliable, and fit for purpose for everyone.’

Around £28m has been set aside to repair potholes and other structural defects and nearly £20m is for carriageway and footway capital projects.
