The CIHT is calling on the Government to move to a five-year long-term funding model for local highway maintenance, which could unlock up to £2.2bn in savings to reinvest in local roads.
The Department for Transport (DfT) has unveiled £220m of 'incentive funding' allocations to local highways authorities following the publication of maintenance transparency reports this year.
National Highways has priced over 20 proposed renewal and enhancement projects, with a total estimated value of roughly £8.5bn.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Better Roads has called for Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) money to be spent on local roads as less than a third of councils reported using the cash for highways.
