To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, hat estimate he has made of the cost to (a) Government and (b) local authorities of filling in potholes in England in 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, hat estimate he has made of the cost to (a) Government and (b) local authorities of filling in potholes in England in 2017.
The Department for Transport has made no formal estimate of the cost to (a) Government and (b) local authorities of filling in potholes in England in 2016 or 2017. The Department for Transport has no current plans to estimate the cost to the public purse of repairing all potholes on public roads, although others have made informal estimates of their own.
The Government, for the first time, has set up a dedicated fund for potholes. This is providing local highway authorities in England, outside London, £296 million between 2016 and 2021, including an extra £46 million announced in the 2017 autumn Budget.
This funding is in addition to just under £6 billion the Government is providing to local highway authorities for local highway maintenance in England, outside London.
The management and maintenance of the local highway network falls under the responsibility of highway authorities, such as Lancashire County Council. The Department for Transport endorses the Code of Practice on Well-Managed Highway Infrastructure as published by the UK Roads Liaison Group.
The Department for Transport has made no formal estimate of the total value of compensation for cars damaged on the local road network.
Local highway authorities are responsible for maintaining local roads in their area and are therefore also responsible for compensation.

It is the surface of the roads in the north-west within the existing infrastructure that worries me; it is a bit like driving on the surface of the moon at times. Where county councils fail to tackle the problem of the plague of potholes that besets motorists in the north-west, will the Minister be imaginative and look at ways whereby district councils could bid for the money that the Government make available so that they can tackle this problem?

My hon. Friend is right that the noise and disturbance from poor road surfaces has a significant effect on the journeys of those who use cars and trucks. As he knows, I have been in the north-west in a vehicle with him—an open-top vehicle, I hasten to add—waving to his constituents. I know how important road surfaces are, so I will certainly look at his suggestion, not only for the north-west but across the whole nation.
That this House notes the growing practice of local authorities in refusing financially to support children on school transport to the school of their choice; further notes that the Government believes in parental choice where possible; notes that local authorities are refusing to support school transport costs where the child lives closer to another school; notes in addition that no consideration is given to the fact that the parents wish the child to go to a school not the closest to them on the grounds of religion, educational offerings, size of school and medical grounds; notes that the cost to parents of this can be in excess of £500 per child; and calls on the Government to remove discretion from local authorities and ensure financial support for school transport is provided where the distance of travel is deemed reasonable, or to review the 1944 Education Act which provides an outdated pretext for the policy of many local education authorities.

That this House notes the RAC's 2015 report on motoring, which polled a sample of motorists in the UK who believe that the quality of roads has deteriorated in the last 12 months; applauds the Government's additional funding for repairing potholes, but believes that this is inadequate to address the growing problem of roads with potholes; further notes the cost to motorists of damaged roads and the danger to cyclists and motorcyclists; and calls on the Government to uplift the financial support it is giving to reduce the number of potholes in the UK.

The Secretary of State has just said that potholes are a nuisance and a menace, but they are incredibly dangerous as well, particularly for cyclists. Can he encourage local authorities to use the money that has now been provided to act urgently to repair potholes?
The Secretary of State has just said that potholes are a nuisance and a menace, but they are incredibly dangerous as well, particularly for cyclists. Can he encourage local authorities to use the money that has now been provided to act urgently to repair potholes?
Yes, I would urge local authorities to act urgently. We have set a budget for local authorities for the next five years so that they can plan their maintenance to get the best service for their constituents and the road user, be it cyclist or motorist.
