£70m investment in our roads

Our cabinet members are to be asked to agree a major programme of work to improve the county’s roads at a meeting next week.

The cabinet meeting on Thursday 13 November will consider a report which sets out a multi-million package, likely to be around £70m, to improve roads, pavements, traffic signals, landslips, and much more.

One new initiative is the introduction of ‘fence to fence’ working on the larger projects we carry out. This means that when a road is closed for resurfacing other teams take the opportunity to carry out drainage or safety work, making the most of the closure and reducing inconvenience for local residents.

Local councillors are also to be given a say in which residential streets are resurfaced. All councillors have been asked to suggest two streets most in need of attention from their area. A £3m pot will pay for those most in need.
