Canterbury is set to receive more than $50 million over three years to prevent potholes on local roads.

The money is part of a three-year, $4 billion road maintenance spend announced by Transport Minister Simeon Brown on Thursday.
About half will go towards state highways, with the rest destined for local roads.
