<p>The Government is to provide more than £100 million of extra money to deal with potholes.</p>
<p>The funding, to go to local councils in England, is in addition to the £831 million already provided to councils for road maintenance this year and the £3 billion the Government has committed over the next four years.</p>
<p>The Department for Transport (DfT) said that the severe weather at the end of last year had left many local roads in a poor condition.</p>
<p>Transport Secretary Philip Hammond said: &#8220;Millions of motorists across the country have their daily drives ruined by potholes. And the awful winter weather we had this year is only going to make that problem worse.</p>
<p>&#8220;That is why, despite the tough financial position we are in, we are going to give councils over £100 million extra to help carry out much-needed repairs to England&#8217;s roads.&#8221;</p>
<p>He went on: &#8220;I am determined to see the winter damage to our roads fixed as quickly as possible and we will be working with councils to make sure that happens.</p>
<p>&#8220;This money should make a real difference to the millions of drivers who are fed up with having to continually battle against dangerous potholes, giving them safer and smoother journeys.&#8221;</p>
<p>The extra funding has been made possible because of savings the DfT made earlier in the financial year.</p>
