Allocations for a £235m funding pot aimed at fixing London’s pothole-strewn roads have been confirmed by the Government.

The funding, redirected from HS2, will help to resurface roads across the capital over the next 11 years, according to the Government.

The allocations are based on the size of the road network that local authorities and Transport for London (TfL) maintain.

Around £7.5m will be set aside for next year with London boroughs immediately receiving around 96% of this funding pot and TfL around 4%.

The allocations include funding boosts over the next year of £354,000 for Hillingdon, £455,000 for Bromley and £368,000 for Barnet.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper said: ‘This funding is part of a long-term, 11-year plan to ensure road users across London have smoother, faster and safer journeys by using redirected HS2 funding to make the right long-term decisions for a brighter future.’
