The Government is making £600 million available in 2006 to help local authorities modernise and update their local roads, Transport Minister Karen Buck announced today.
Karen Buck said:
"This extra funding further demonstrates our continuing commitment to help local authorities eliminate the maintenance backlog. The £600 million of new funding will lead to better and safer roads for drivers and pedestrians alike.
This pathfinder bidding will allow local authorities in England to bid for Private Finance Initiative (PFI) funding for their projects.
Full details of how local authorities can apply for this funding will be issued to all Chief Highway Officers today.
