Lincolnshire County Council has today (Monday) been awarded £2.5m to fix an estimated 46,800 potholes.
The cash is extra government funding from its Pothole Fund for 2017/18. It will be in addition to the £27.6m the county council is set to receive for general road maintenance next year.
Coun Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “We know that good roads are a top priority for residents, which is why we not only invest heavily ourselves, but also lobby government for additional funding.
“I’m delighted that our efforts have resulted in this significant bonus for the county, which we’ll be sure to put to good use. I promise you we’ll do all we can to keep the county’s roads in the best possible condition with the cash that’s available.
“Getting the best out our roads will also help boost the Lincolnshire economy, so this is good news for everyone, not just motorists.”
