Transport written question – answered at on 12 June 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the cost of administering the Potholes Challenge Fund.
In the 2014 Budget, the Government announced a £200 million pothole fund for the financial year 2014-15. Some £168 million is being made available to councils in England, including up to £10 million for London. This is enough to fix over 3 million potholes on the local road network.
The administering of the fund falls under the current operating costs of the Department for Transport and so no additional costs have been incurred.
