🚗 Lincolnshire Council concerned about reduced funding for local road repairs under government's control
Lincolnshire County Council fears that government proposals to assume control of major roads in the county would result in less repairs and maintenance.
"If you're in Westminster overseeing the entire UK road network, would Broughton, Grimsby, Spalding, or Boston even register on your radar as areas in need of highways maintenance?" He said. He expressed doubt that National Highways would allocate the necessary funds for maintenance once they assume responsibility, including cyclical maintenance such as resurfacing.
Previous trunking efforts, like the A17 and A16 routes before 2000, saw major improvements and maintenance significantly reduced under government control.
