These Gedling borough roads are set to benefit from £47.4m highway improvement funding

A number of road improvement schemes in Gedling borough will now get the go ahead after Nottinghamshire County Council this week approved a three-year county-wide highway plan that will be delivered at a cost of £47.4m.

This is the first time a three-year plan of highway repair work has been created in contrast to previous annual programmes. 

Councillor Neil Clarke MBE, Chairman of the Transport and Environment committee said: “There are 381 individual road, footway and drainage schemes planned across the county

“Local residents can expect an increase in spend on footway improvements and drainage repairs.  We are also completing our LED lighting programme with a further 12,000 streetlights being upgraded and finally additional funding of £12m over the next four years for structural patching repairs.

“The schemes in the agreed funding have been designed to reflect local and national priorities.  All County Council Members last year were asked to submit their highest priority suggestions so they could be considered for inclusion.   

“The investment is also part of our strategy to support the local economy, promote health and wellbeing and ensure communities thrive.”

In addition to road maintenance the highways funding will go towards local transport improvements such as improving accessibility, addressing congestion, and improving road safety.
