The government has announced a new fund aimed at helping local councils fill in nearly a million potholes in roads across the country.
Secretary of state for transport Patrick McLoughlin said the £50 million fund will be spread between 100 councils in England, which will help them fill in 943,000 holes.
The cash is part of a £250 million fund that was made available in the Budget last month, which aims to fix four million potholes by 2020/21.
Mr McLoughlin said: "I know how important well-maintained roads are to people across the country. Almost every journey starts and ends on a local road."
He added that the government is giving nearly £6 billion to local authorities for road maintenance purposes over the next five years.
Cash will also be used to repair and enhance bridges and improve street lighting.
The report comes after Department for Transport figures revealed the amount of traffic on Britain's roads in 2014 was seven times what it was in 1950.
