Londoners will enjoy smoother and safer journeys, as the government today has announced how London boroughs will benefit from £235 million in extra funding, redirected from HS2 to resurface roads across the capital over the next 11 years.
Allocations for each London borough and Transport for London (TfL) have today been confirmed, allowing authorities to start spending immediately on vital road repairs. Of the money provided, £11.5 million will be allocated to Barnet.
Last month, the Transport Secretary announced the total amount of additional funding that will be provided to maintain London’s roads over the next 11 years, which will improve journey times and could save motorists up to £440 in vehicle repairs to fix the damage caused by potholes.
The funding is part of an £8.3 billion plan – enough to resurface over 5,000 miles of roads across England. This is the largest ever investment into road repairs and improvements and part of the government’s Network North pledge to improve journeys for all.
