Roads and pavements across Brighton and Hove are to benefit from extra funding for an improvement programme.
The city council has been awarded £1.4m in funding from the Department for Transport towards its ongoing resurfacing and pothole-filling work.
In total, the authority in East Sussex saidit will be spending £8.8m on road and pavement maintenanceduring 2026 and 2027.
Trevor Muten, cabinet member for transport and city infrastructure, described the government award as a "testament to the hard work being done by the team".
He said: "Residents are seeing a visible improvement in the condition of our roads.
"We've invested in better technology, gathered more detailed information and developed a far clearer understanding of the condition of our road network.
"That data has given us a more honest picture of what needs fixing and where investment will have the greatest impact."
