Councils across the North West are to get an extra £19 million from the government for pothole repairs and resurfacing schemes this year - matching the additional amount they received last year.
The cash is coming from the money saved by the decision last autumn to scrap the northern leg of the HS2 rail line between Birmingham and Manchester - £1.2bn of which will come to the North West. The £19m for 2024/25 includes the extra £3.6m already allocated to Lancashire County Council and £191,000 to Blackpool Council for road repairs. >» See all the roads in Preston, Chorley and South Ribble that will be resurfaced this year.
