13 roads in Bassetlaw are to be resurfaced or repaired as part of Nottinghamshire County Council highway investment.

The roads are to be improved after the county council announced it had received £52.4 million of capital investment and £20.3 million of revenue funding.

The money will also pay for improvements to pavements at £3.975 million, highways drainage at £2.03 million (including enhanced gully clearing), and other essential highway assets such as bridges, street lighting, and traffic signals, totalling £7.575 million.

Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, Cllr Sam Smith said: “I know resurfacing more of our roads is the number one priority or our residents and that is why it is this council’s priority as well. 

“We know particularly that potholes are the source of so much frustration for the public so we are committed to making sure this investment can be used to address improvements needed across our entire network.

“Whilst the funding invested will help to address some of the worst affected roads it will also mean we can carry out essential preventative works to avoid further deterioration”. 

Councillor Neil Clarke said: “The works will incorporate both resurfacing projects and other treatments aimed at improving roads in poor condition.

“These will include preventative treatments such as surface dressing and micro-asphalt designed to extend the life of the network by preventing further deterioration taking a more long-term approach to highways maintenance”.
