Milton Keynes Council has been allocated £7.9 million for local roads maintenance in Milton Keynes including fixing potholes appearing all over the city.
Countrywide, councils have been given £500 million which is expected to fix the equivalent of 10 million potholes.
This extra money has been welcomed by Ben Everitt and Iain Stewart, the two MPs for Milton Keynes, and the Conservative Group Leader on MK Council Alex Walker.
Ben Everitt, the MP for Milton Keynes North, said: “I know residents are fed up with potholes damaging their cars and bikes all across Milton Keynes and it’s not just costly and annoying, it’s dangerous too.

“I’m glad the Government is once again providing money to the Council to fix potholes and for other road maintenance in MK and I hope they used the allocated funds as quickly and effectively as possible.”
Alex Walker, the Conservative Group Leader on MK Council, added: “It’s great to see the Conservative government is committed to investing in fixing our roads and removing potholes in our city.
“The Labour-led Council now needs to get on with the job of using this funding to fix MK’s roads and repair as many potholes as possible before the current dreadful state of our roads gets worse.”
