Leicestershire has been allocated £1,491,977 for local road repair, a move welcomed by the MP for Harborough, Oadby and Wigston, Sir Edward Garnier.

Writing on his website, the MP said potholes damage cars and disrupt journeys.

During this parliament, the government will invest £4.5 billion on local roads maintenance:

The MP continued…

“The £168 million that was announced in the budget for England will be allocated through a bid based Fund, with further guidance on the application process published in the coming weeks.
“Introducing competition to the process will help drive efficiency and I hope that Leicestershire County Council submits a strong application for funding.”

During the coming months a number of areas in Enderby and Blaby District are to be the subject of carriageway maintenance.
