£1.4m funding for Brighton and Hove roads programme
Getty ImagesRoads and pavements across Brighton and Hove are to benefit from extra funding for an improvement programme.
The city council has been awarded £1.4m in funding from the Department for Transport towards its ongoing resurfacing and pothole-filling work.
In total, the authority in East Sussex said it will be spending £8.8m on road and pavement maintenance during 2026 and 2027.
Trevor Muten, cabinet member for transport and city infrastructure, described the government award as a "testament to the hard work being done by the team".
He said: "Residents are seeing a visible improvement in the condition of our roads.
"We've invested in better technology, gathered more detailed information and developed a far clearer understanding of the condition of our road network.
"That data has given us a more honest picture of what needs fixing and where investment will have the greatest impact."
