Greater Manchester infrastructure investment

Overview

Mayor Bev Craig has announced a £60 million Pothole Fund for Greater Manchester to repair approximately 125km of highway and over one million square metres of road surface. The investment aims to improve safety for motorists, bus users, tram passengers, and cyclists.

The funds will be distributed among the ten Greater Manchester councils using a formula based on need. Stockport Council is expected to receive £6.82 million following lobbying by its local administration. Officials attributed road deterioration to harsh weather and heavy vehicle traffic, noting that the investment exceeds the typical collective annual government budget for road and pavement maintenance.
