Revealed: the roads being resurfaced in your area financed by £8.3 billion reallocated HS2 funding

Last week (10 April 2024), the Department for Transport revealed 102 of the 119 local authorities that received funding have responded to the department’s survey request to set out their plans. This means that local people and logistics operators can now check their local council’s websites and scrutinise their plans for themselves.

Among the regions pledging to resurface the highest volume of roads are the West Midlands (600,000 square metres) and East Midlands (350,000 square metres), with plans outlined for problem spots across the country including the:

- A43 at Towcester

- A164 between Beverley and Hessle

- A4146 at Leighton Buzzard

Residents in areas such as Southport and Sunderland have already seen major resurfacing work take place, thanks to the £150 million already invested as part of the road resurfacing funding allocations, made possible by reallocated HS2 funding.

News In Brief

Unipart sees revenue top £1 billion for the first time

Originally created in 1974 as the spare parts arm of British Leyland - which was once the UK’s biggest car manufacturer – Unipart split from the group when executive chairman John Neill staged a management buyout of the business in 1987.

The firm is majority owned by its 12,000 workers, making it one of the UK’s largest employee-owned firms. On 9 April, 2024, it announced that revenue soared 14.2 per cent to £1.05 billion last year, up from £917.3million a year earlier.

Unipart now provides logistics and supply chain services across 21 countries and include Airbus, Volkswagen, Vodafone, Three and the NHS among their clients.
