Goverment to spend on fixing potholes

23 December 2014  

The government has announced a record £6 billion will be spent on tackling potholes and improving local roads in the UK.

The investment amounts to £976 million a year, which is estimated to be able to fix around 18 million potholes across the country. It is the first time councils have been given locked-in funding over this length of time, allowing them to plan ahead.
