He continued, “As a result of today’s announcement, I have immediately written to the Secretary of State for Transport, and the Chancellor, asking for precise details about how we can access these funds as soon as possible.
“We all know just how bad some of our roads are, so I’m determined to ensure we get the money before it’s too late.”
