Additional Roads to be Resurfaced with Additional £1 million boost published

The Council has published the list of additional roads which will be resurfaced in this financial year thanks to the £1 million boost we recently put into the road resurfacing budget. This takes the overall investment in highway maintenance this year to around £7 million, and means that within 2 years an additional £4 million pounds has been invested in our roads and pavements over and above the level of spending by the former County Council.

The fightback against the years of neglect of the Borough's roads and pavements by the former Conservative County Council is ongoing. The freezing weather is obviously extremely detrimental to the condition of roads, and will not help in the task, but people are commenting to me that they have been noticing the significant amount of resurfacing works going on around the Borough, and it is having a beneficial impact.

The extra roads being resurfaced by March 2011 due to our £1 million funding boost are:

A6 Rushden Road (from Borough boundary To Knotting Fox Farm), Sharnbrook

C40 High Street, Wilden

C79 Stewartby Way, Stewartby

Aylesbury Road, Newnham

Dunster Gardens, Putnoe

Highbury Grove, Clapham

Spenser Road, Harpur

Howbury Street, Castle

The Grove, Castle

St Albans Road, De Parys

Quantock Close, Putnoe

Darwin Road, Cauldwell

Barton Road, Kingsbrook
