£500 million more to fix local roads

We pledged in our manifesto to fix a million more potholes a year, this announcement of £500 million will mean we will exceed that commitment.

Potholes on Britain’s roads are a sign of the decline we suffered under the Tories. But Labour’s changes will rebuild and modernise our country’s transport infrastructure.

Doing so will ease the cost-of-living, increase efficiency for businesses, and deliver on my priority of decent homes for the people of Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton more widely by improving neighbourhood streets.
