Jeremy Hunt announced an extra £200 million will be allocated to tackling the "curse of potholes" as he laid out the government's Budget for the coming year.

The extra cash will be added to the current potholes fund, which is £500 million per year.

Speaking to the Commons, the Chancellor said: "Following a wet then cold winter, I received particularly strong representations from my honourable friend from North Devon, South West Devon and Newton Abbott, as well as Councillor Peter Martin from my own constituency about the curse of potholes.

"The spending review allocated £500 million every year to the potholes fund but today I've decided to increase that fund by a further £200 million to help local communities tackle this problem."

Some regions will receive private finance initiatives (PFIs) rather than the government funding referenced by the Chancellor.

A PFI is a way for the public sector to finance big public-works projects through the private sector, to take the burden off the government, who will repay private firms over a long term.
