Record funding set to improve our roads

Steve Brine has welcomed the announcement of nearly £27,000 of new funding in Hampshire – which will mean more money to tackle potholes and improve roads across Winchester & Chandler's Ford.

This is part of £140,014 of funding allocated for roads maintenance in Hampshire up to 2020/21, which is the first time councils have had certainty over funding for this length of time. This will also mean they can plan ahead and spend more efficiently and effectively.

Overall, £976 million a year will be invested in roads maintenance in England – enough to fix around 18 million potholes across the country.

Winchester & Chandler's Ford MP Steve Brine said: "We all know potholes and poorly maintained roads are a menace, particularly in the winter, so this is great news for everybody who relies on the roads across our area.

"This £26,824 funding – part of a £140,014 package for maintenance over the next six years - will go a long way to dealing with the problems we face locally on our roads.

"I am delighted that investing in Britain's roads and infrastructure is a key part of the Conservatives' long-term economic plan to secure a better future for Britain, and clearly, it's only possible because we've taken the difficult decisions to cut ineffective spending elsewhere.

"By fixing our roads we are backing local businesses, and making life that bit easier for the hardworking people in Winchester & Chandler's Ford who use them to get around."
