Funding for pothole repairs

The Council’s Policy and Resources Committee today agreed to pump an extra £200,000 into emergency pothole and pavement repairs.

The money will allow roads teams to act now to tackle damage caused by the exceptionally cold winter weather over the past couple of months.

We felt that it was important we acted quickly to minimise what potentially could be a major issue for drivers and pedestrians.

The money will come from the Council’s Insurance Fund and will be spent before the end of March.
