What hope is there for rural minor roads given the financial situation we are in?

There is a shortfall in the annual funding available to maintain the entire minor road network in a steady state. However, we can still use a data-led approach to identify programmes of work to ensure the available funding is spent wisely. We are interested in sharing this with communities, identifying and agreeing with them a minor road resilience network. This may mean some tough choices on managing a retreat in planned maintenance work on certain roads.
