Road repair funding announced for Devon

Thirty six thousand 830 potholes on Devon's roads are to be repaired - according to the Department for Transport.

It's worked out that its funding for road repairs will pay for that number to be filled in.

The Government has today confirmed how much money each local authority will get, out of the potholes fund announced in the budget.

Devon will get just under two million pounds.

The councillor for highways Stuart Hughes says it's not enough to carry out all the necessary repairs, but will certainly help with the most urgent problems.

It'll now start working to identify which 36-thousand-odd potholes should be targeted.
