More roads have been added to a Merseyside council’s maintenance programme in a £5million investment.
The money, approved in March, will ensure that improvement works on more than 40 main roads and 140 minor roads in Wirral takes place by the end of the year.
Cllr Julie McManus, cabinet member for community services, said: “Significant investment was made into our maintenance programme for this year and by receiving additional funding from Liverpool City Region (LCR) Combined Authority for works on the Key Route Network (KRN), the programme has been able to undertake further substantial repair works.”
As well as a number of road-improvement works, approximately 100 footpaths will be treated.
Cllr McManus added: “I’m delighted that by securing further funding, we are able to add roads into the programme and carry out more intensive repairs, as this will continue to maintain roads across the borough for all of our residents.
“These preventative works are essential to future-proof the condition of our roads and enable the council to continue delivering an effective and sustainable network to our residents.
“The repairs and treatments that are taking part on our footways can also help to maintain our pedestrian network to encourage sustainable travel across the borough.”
The work has been paid for by a combination of funds from the LCR Combined Authority, the Department for Transport and Wirral Council .
The decision on which roads to repair was taken after a process of surveys and reports from highways inspectors, councillors and members of the public.
