British authorities said Thursday that nearly a million potholes across England will be filled in with government funding of 50 million pounds ($70 million) over the next 12 months.
More than 100 councils in England will receive funding to remove around 943,000 potholes from local roads during this financial year, Xinhua news agency quoted a government statement as saying.
The funding has been made available as part of the 250 million British pounds' Pathole Action fund included in last month's Budget which will fix over four million potholes by 2020-21.
