With this in mind, for the months of January through to December 2023 and - if available - for the first 3 months of 2024, please disclose:

The Service Area have advised that costs data is captured in financial years and therefore it is only possible to gather the total spend for the period covering April 2023 - March 2024.
We can confirm the total amount spent on road maintenance, relating to pothole repairs, was £2,731,358.04.
