Moray Council's roads maintenance section is to begin a programme of carriageway resurfacing next month.

A number of streets and rural roads will be affected by the works which will be carried out throughout August and September.

The local authority has said contractors will endeavour to keep disruption and inconvenience to a minimum, but motorists have been asked to be patient as the works get underway.
