ALMOST £16million has been allocated to Staffordshire County Council by the Government to improve roads.

The money from the Local Transport Grant will cover a range of projects designed to improve the transport network.

It will see £5million to help with pothole and patching repairs, £3.2million for major maintenance schemes and £3million for preventative work and surface dressing.

Other funding earmarked includes almost £1million for pavements and a further £1million for drainage repairs.

Darryl Eyers, Staffordshire County Council’s director for economy, infrastructure and skills, said:

> “This one-off additional funding will help us build on the extra investment made by the county council into road maintenance.  
>  
> “It means that we can continue to fix more roads, deal with drainage issues and extend our preventative maintenance programme, which is essential to prolonging the life of the county’s roads.  
>  
> “In addition to improving road conditions, the investment will support the council’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and achieving a net zero transport system.”
