Mark Shaw, the council's deputy leader and transport cabinet member said: “The extra money for road repairs is very welcome, and we’ll be deciding in due course how and where it will be invested.

“We’ve worked extremely hard to maintain our roads, and this year we’ve invested around £25 million to improve them.”
