Highways maintenance funding
Worcestershire County Council welcomes highways maintenance funding increase, made possible by reallocated HS2 funding.
On 4 October 2023, the government announced £8.3 billion of additional highways maintenance funding over the period 2023 to 2024 and the next 10 years for local road resurfacing and wider maintenance activity on the local highway network.
From this extra funding, Worcestershire was awarded £2.383m for 2023/24 and £2.383m for 2024/25. This is in addition to the £3.331m awarded to Worcestershire in the Spring Budget 2023.
