BARNSLEY Council has been given £500,000 by the government to tackle potholes.
Local roads will benefit from the £503,145 funding from the Department for Transport's 2014/15 pothole fund.
Cabinet members are due to formally accept the funding at their meeting on Wednesday.
The award follows a successful bid made by the council in May this year for additional maintenance funding.
The funding must be targeted towards permanently fixing potholes on Barnsley's roads, or by resurfacing to stop the potholes forming in the first place.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
