I do not know whether the Minister has recently visited Tory-controlled Derbyshire, but I have, and the roads are in a shocking state.

What we need is a proper road maintenance programme, yet the Government have slashed funding by £375 million and are ploughing £27 billion into road expansion during a climate emergency. Does the Minister not think that it would be better for motorists, cyclists and the planet if we focused on fixing what we have got?
