We need roads that are safe for everyone which is why I worked with the Conservative leadership at Bolton Council between 2019 and 2022 to deliver over £12m in extra funding for roads. This funding ensured that over 420 roads were resurfaced.
I also helped deliver ‘fair funding’ which saw highways cash distributed equally across the Bolton borough. This resulted in spending increases in Horwich, Blackrod, Smithills, Heaton and Lostock.
More recently the Government has provided an additional £4.4m of highways funding each year for our area with a detailed breakdown to come.
At the Bolton Council budget meeting in March this year, Labour rejected a Conservative proposal to increase highways funding this year by £1m.
For more information about what I have been doing to secure more funding and to get our roads repaired, see some of my news articles below.
