The webinar saw members of LCRIG able to put their questions to senior personnel from the Department for Transport (DfT). Matthew Eglinton, Head of Local Roads Maintenance and Resilience, Local Infrastructure; and Darren Capes, ITS Policy Lead, Traffic and Technology Division – both took questions from the audience.
During the discussion, Mr Eglinton was asked about the need for a long-term settlement on highways funding to allow councils to plan an effective and long-term strategy for both pothole and road maintenance.
In answering, he said: “There does need to be a long-term settlement for highways maintenance funding; that is exactly what Steve and I were working on, and what I will be continuing to work towards. I will carry on asking local highway colleagues across the sector for their continued help and support in building the evidence base, to ensure that we set out as compelling an argument as possible for it.”
Mr Capes answered questions around technology and innovation.
