Additional Government Funding for Road Maintenance

In March 2011 the Department for Transport (DfT) provided £310k of additional funding to the Council to boost our road maintenance budget which was severely impacted by the extra cost of repairs as a result of the potholes and other damage caused by severe weather conditions. These funds were welcome as our road network is in need of investment to prevent further damage in poor weather conditions.

With an initial budget allocation of £1,543,000 for 2011/12 the additional funding provided by the DfT enabled us to enhance our original programme by adding additional roads for resurfacing and undertaking extensive repairs on other roads.

Proposed Planned Highway Maintenance programme for 2011/12

The proposed Planned Maintenance Programme is designed to improve the existing carriageways and footways.

It is intended to improve the environment for those people living, working or otherwise using the public highways. Our objective is to make the streets safer, more pleasant to use and more visually pleasing.

Depending on cost, it may be possible that work on further roads can be done during the 2011/12 financial year. Start and finish dates are only estimates at this stage in the programme. The local community will be notified prior to work commencing.

All data is subject to change and every effort will be made to ensure that the information provided is as accurate as possible. The information is updated in June, September, December and March.
