Starmer tells councils to 'get on with the job' and fix potholes or lose funding - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
Briefly

The Prime Minister has set a clear directive for councils to provide evidence of pothole repairs to secure funding for road repairs. The government allocated an additional £4.8 billion specifically for major and local road maintenance, emphasizing the need for transparency on spending and repair progress. Councils are required to report their activities by June 30 to continue receiving substantial funding. With the repair backlog reaching £1.63 billion, the government expects councils to prioritize road conditions and effectively utilize provided resources for community benefit.
The public deserves to know how their councils are improving their local roads, which is why they will have to show progress or risk losing 25% of their £500million funding boost.
British people are bored of seeing their politicians aimlessly pointing at potholes with no real plan to fix them. That ends with us.
