Highways funding is given to each county councillor to spend on improving roads in their area. In this case local county councillor Andrew Gravells is contributing funding towards repairs to parts of Abbeymead Avenue, The Wheatridge East and Wheatway.
Road crews will be in the area between 16th and 27th March to carry out the work between 7.30am and 5.30pm. All work will be carried out under traffic light control to keep roads open and road crews safe whilst they work.
Cllr Andrew Gravells said, “I live in the heart of Abbeydale, and I always listen to what local residents tell me about local issues, including the state of the roads in our area.”
“The Highways Local scheme is a great initiative as it allows me to target resources directly to those areas which local people think need the most urgent attention and are most concerned about. The work may cause some disruption, but please be patient while road crews carry out these repairs.”
“This is good news for Abbeydale and Abbeymead and I know that the improvements will benefit road users and residents.”
In addition to next week’s repair work a major road resurfacing scheme is planned for the busy Abbeymead Avenue in the summer.
Cllr Vernon Smith, Cabinet member for roads said, “I am really pleased to see Highways Local funding being put to good use here in Abbeydale and Abbeymead, acting on local feedback.”
“Improving roads in the county is an absolute priority for us and with more extensive improvements planned here later in the year I hope it will make a real difference to local people.”
