Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Local Government revenue settlement 2021-2022 was increased in year by £60m to £4.711bn (in order to allow authorities to manage their budgets more effectively over the medium term). This meant an increase of 5.2% at a Wales level on the 2020-2021 settlement. Funding provided through the Local Government Settlement is un-hypothecated, so local authorities may choose how to use this funding alongside their other resources to maintain and develop their local roads and active travel infrastructure. There was also a £20m public highways refurbishment capital grant.
For the Welsh Government strategic road network, £218 million was allocated for maintenance and upgrade in the FY 2021/22 and in the current financial year £160 million is allocated for the same purpose.
