Block Funding allocations for 2025/26
Bexley Council is addressing new Department for Transport criteria for its 2025/26 highway funding incentive, linked to sustainable practices.
Bexley Council is set to receive a highway funding incentive from the Department for Transport (DfT) for 2025-2026, which is contingent on demonstrating best practices in sustainable highways asset management. The council's Transport Users' Sub-Committee discussed the DfT's announcement of these Block Funding allocations, including the new incentive element, on July 17, 2025.
Councils are currently working through the conditions for unlocking this funding, which is provided by the Department for Transport to local authorities. Failure to meet the DfT's criteria could result in Bexley Council not unlocking the full 25% of the highway funding incentive, according to a Road Issues report.
