Birmingham Mail
|February 09, 2026
SIX COUNCILS COULD SEE THEIR TOTAL ROAD MENDING BUDGET RISE TO £240M
THE amount of money given to councils for fixing potholes and resurfacing the region's crumbling roads is to be doubled.
West Midlands mayor Richard Parker wants to make £240m available to six councils - Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall, Coventry and Wolverhampton to cover their highway maintenance over five years from April 2027.
That is double the £120m awarded to the councils for the current five-year period.
The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) Board will be asked to approve the £240m funding when it meets on Friday, February 13.
