Medway is to receive a cash ‘boost’ to fix thousands of potholes.

The government has announced today that Medway will receive £135,000 as its share of a national annual fund to help councils tackle damaged roads.

The money is, according to the Department for Transport, enough to fix 2,547 potholes in the Towns.

The government fund was initially set out by the coalition in 2014, which established a £6bn fund to run up until 2021.

The Local Government Association said in 2014 the scheme did not go far enough: “Fixing potholes is a sticking plaster-approach which does nothing to address the fundamental decay of the underlying road infrastructure.”

Kent County Council will receive £1,473,000, enough to fix 27,792 potholes across the rest of the county.
