In determining the annual non-national road grant allocations, the overall objective is to resource each local authority appropriately in regard to their ongoing and special needs. The process is guided by a range of criteria, including road pavement conditions, traffic volumes, length of road network, population and eligibility in relation to specific projects such as EU co-financed specific improvements schemes.

Non-national road grants are allocated under a number of grant categories, including discretionary maintenance, discretionary improvement and restoration maintenance grants to county councils, which are determined predominantly on a pro rata non-national road length basis; restoration improvement grants to county councils, which are based on multi-annual restoration programmes submitted by local authorities to my Department, taking account of previous allocations and the results of the recent pavement condition study and review of pavement management systems; block grants and special block grants for carriageway repairs to city, borough and town councils, which are based on the population of each urban area and its environs; and other grant categories which are project specific such as the EU co-financed specific improvements grant scheme and the strategic non-national roads grants scheme, under which projects are submitted by local authorities for consideration and allocations are determined following an assessment of their individual merits, compliance with eligibility criteria, the needs of all areas and the total funds available.
