Extra Money for Road Repair in Surrey

Surrey County Council could be in line for extra road repair cash as a government reward for giving taxpayers value for money.

From next year, councils that prove they spend highways funding efficiently are set to get a bigger share of the country’s £200 million annual roads maintenance budget under plans recently launched by the Department for Transport (DfT).

Surrey County Council was highlighted as one of two good examples of an efficient roads authority when the DfT announced the proposals earlier this year.
