Mr Lester said the Department for Transport had promised guidance on how the money was to be spent and how the council could access it.
“When that is forthcoming we can start spending on progressing our infrastructure priorities,” he said.A new road strategy for the county is due to be adopted by the council’s cabinet in March.Follow BBC West Midlands on
