Rochdale set for £1m pothole repair programme (8 August 2016)

Date: 08/08/2016
Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Rochdale set for £1m pothole repair programme

Rochdale Council is to embark on a £1 million programme to repair potholes across the borough over the next eight months.

The government gave the borough council £121,000 towards the programme – and the total spend is in addition to £2.4m to be spent on general road and footway repairs between August 2016 and April 2017.

The works will include verge improvements, installing new signs and lines and resurfacing.

The repair programme will be scheduled from month to month – and will see the most severe potholes targeted across the different towns.

Rochdale Borough Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Environment, Councillor Neil Emmott, said:

“We know that having good quality roads is an important quality of life issue for our residents, so we're going above and beyond to ensure our highways are in tiptop condition.

“Our contractors will be out and about each and every day repairing the roads – and residents will start to see improvements very soon.

“We will still respond to potholes reported by our residents in the usual way and this work will complement that.”
