An extra £7.5m will be awarded to English local authorities to help them manage their roads, bridges and other highways assets, Transport Minister Paul Clark announced today.
Fourteen councils have been successful in attracting the funding, which will enable them to improve their information holdings on their streetlights, bridges, roads and other assets, in order to manage them as effectively as possible. Bids were received from local authorities across England. Awards have been made for innovative projects and successful bidders will act as champions in their regions allowing other local authorities to share in the techniques used.
Paul Clark said:
"High quality local highways are vital to communities; connecting people with work, shops, services, family and friends.
"That is why we have awarded this funding to those councils whose projects will most add to our knowledge of how best to manage these crucial networks."
