What the local road improvements fund is
The Local Improvement Scheme (LIS) provides funding to help local authorities carry out improvement works on private and non-publicly maintained roads.
These roads can often lead to:
- multiple homes
- farmland
- amenities such as lakes, rivers or beaches
The scheme is also an important part of the delivery of the Government’s Our Rural Future Rural Development Policy 2021-2025
