Singleton Council is calling for more funding from the State and Federal Governments, as its road repair bill blows out to $15 million.
Following a resolution on Tuesday, Council will join with Local Government NSW and the Country Mayors Association of NSW to declare a Statewide Road Emergency in the wake of floods throughout the year.
The toll on the local and regional road network is now estimated at $2.5 billion.
Singleton Mayor Sue Moore says Council's willing to put in $5 million, if the State and Federal Governments each do the same.
The town has already received $250,000 from a NSW pothole fixing fund.
