Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer is urging councils to prove they are tackling potholes or face losing the cash to fix them.
The PM said councils need to “get on with the job” of fixing potholes as he announced an additional £4.8 billion of funding to carry out work on motorways and major A-roads.
Local authorities will start to get their share of £1.6 billion in highway maintenance funding confirmed last year, up £500 million from the previous year, in mid-April.
But from Monday, they will be required to publish annual progress reports or face having funding withheld.
