This Government is committed to ensuring that people have access to transport and transport infrastructure that enables them to travel to the destinations they want to reach and meets their needs.

On funding for roads, this year Kent County Council received an additional £4.296 million for highways maintenance, on top of the over £34 million it typically receives as part of the SR21 3-year settlement. Further funding beyond 2024/25 is matter for the forthcoming Spending Review.

In addition, in her statement on 29 July, the Chancellor announced that the Department for Transport will review its capital roads portfolio over the summer.
