One in five lose cash in self-assessment

摘要

Of the eligible highway authorities, almost one in five have lost half of their share of £i151m this year from the Department for Transport's (DfT) Incentive Fund due to poor performance. The Incentive Fund uses a self-assessment process to rank highway authorities across three bandings, based on key elements such as good asset management. After its launch in 2015/16, money has been slowly cut from councils in the lower bands.
