Matthew Offord – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Matthew Offord on 2015-10-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what support his Department provides to the London Borough of Barnet for the upkeep of local roads.

Andrew Jones

This Department does not provide direct funding to the London Borough of Barnet for the upkeep of local roads. We do, however, provide funding to Transport for London (TfL) each year, which for 2015/16 we have provided a grant of £1.5bn, part of which TfL in turn passes to the boroughs for spending on road maintenance and improvement.
