Nottinghamshire will receive £3,312,000 to fix 66,240 potholes in the county
Nottinghamshire will receive around £3.3 million of funding to fix potholes on the county's roads. It was recently announced in the Government's budget that £200 million was being allocated to fix potholes across England, on top of existing highways maintenance funding.
Nottinghamshire County Council Leader and Mansfield 's Conservative MP, Ben Bradley, said: "People in Mansfield deserve good quality roads in order to travel around, seeing their family and friends and travelling to work in a safe way. Highways and the state of Nottinghamshire's roads was the major issue in the local elections back in 2021."That's why at a county level we did a full review into how we maintain our roads and totally overhauled our highway maintenance system.
But in terms of the Government's funding announcement, Ben Bradley added: "Any amount of extra money is welcome to help us combat potholes and I would like to thank government for providing just over three million extra in funding to our highways team. I know this funding will not only improve the quality of people’s journeys in Mansfield but will also make Nottinghamshire's roads safer for everyone who uses them.
