Roads Resurfacing Fund

The Department is asking all local highway authorities that are not in Mayoral Combined Authority areas to publish prominently on their websites a plan for the additional resurfacing and other highways maintenance work they will deliver with the new 2023/24 and 2024/25 funding unlocked from the Network North plan. For Mayoral Combined Authorities, this information should be published at a Combined Authority level, with the plan also made available on websites.

 

The Department expects these plans to be in plain English and easily accessible. Plans should be no longer than 3 pages in total, with any further detail set out in annexes as appropriate. Plans should be branded with the Funded by UK Government logo with the ‘Made possible by reallocated HS2 funding’ strapline clearly visible. Authorities in the North of England should also use the Network North logo on their reports.

 

This SmartSurvey aims to standardise returns and draw out the key information for ease of collection. For page 3, please use the Excel template attached to the original email.

 

This should be done by Friday 15 March 2024. Please ensure the weblink where the initial report is published is shared with the Department as part of the return.
