2024 TII funding cuts

marno21 · 2024-06-02 07:12:02

Already highlighted on the N59 thread Interesting to see a) why on earth such a cut is required or in any way justified and b) how this plays out with elections forthcoming.

This refers to the annual grants from central Govt to the 31 LA for the regional and local roads.
I'm surprised at any cut, given the rates of inflation recently.

Seems strange. Will be interesting to see what the government response will be. Simultaneously there's money recently after being released for roads for storm Babet damage as "emergency funding". All fairly opaque. I think we're all in the same page on here but the infrastructure budgets should be taken out of 1-year budget cycles.
