摘要：	The Department for Transport (DfT) has announced individual allocations for all English local highway authorities outside London and the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) - with cash frozen at 2021-22 levels for the next three years. Given the current rates of inflation, one sector insider told Highways this could represent a real-terms cut of close to 20% in the first year alone. The DfT published updated annual allocations online for highways maintenance and the Integrated Transport Block (ITB) based on the existing sector-agreed formulae for 2022-23 to 2024-25. The webpage states: 'Individual allocations have been rolled over from 2021 to 2022 to ensure funding consistency.' The October Budget pledged'L2.7bn over the next three years for local roads maintenance in places not receiving City Region Settlements'. Highways calculated at the time that this represents an annual cut of L69m against current spending of around L969m, including for both the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority and seven north east councils, which all receive maintenance funding outside the CRSTS framework.
