£16m road repair cash 'very, very welcome'

The Local Transport Grant, announced at the end of March, was welcomed by Staffordshire County Council cabinet members at their latest meeting.

The grant came after the cabinet approved a £60m investment in Staffordshire's highways over the next three years at last month's meeting.

But Councillor Mark Deaville, cabinet member for strategic highways, said it would take a doubling of the current level of Government funding over a 20-year period to address the current national maintenance backlog.
