The government grant is expected to encourage and reward such work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The borough\u2019s roads have also previously received additional local investment in the form of \u00a339m between 2015-24, with a further \u00a316m dedicated to the Rotherham Roads Programme until 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investment has significantly reduced the number of potholes. In 2014, 34,000 potholes were repaired. During 2025, only around 15,000 have needed to be repaired, a significant decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cllr John Williams, Cabinet Member for Transport, Jobs and the Local Economy at Rotherham Council, said that the Rotherham Roads Programme has been an effective solution to the pothole issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cEveryone should be safe when driving on our roads. That\u2019s why we decided to tackle the problem head\u2011on over a decade ago and our investment has continued with our<a href=\"https:\/\/moderngov.rotherham.gov.uk\/mgAi.aspx?ID=101039\"> Rotherham Roads Programme<\/a> which takes us to 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe figures show that the decisions we\u2019ve repeatedly made to invest in the borough\u2019s roads have really made a difference to the quality of the road surfaces. And for all I appreciate the ongoing frustrations of motorists in some locations that we are trying to address, our roads are in better condition than the national average, and that tells us we\u2019re moving in the right direction.\u201d<br><br>Councillor Terry Adair Transportation Advisory Group, was happy to see the progress being made in Rotherham.<br><br>He told ShefNews: &#8220;It\u2019s a great opportunity to see some change we\u2019ve been looking forward to for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rotherham has secured \u00a310m for road repairs and maintenance programmes this year.
