Work is underway on a roads surfacing programme in Moray.

Around 50 miles of rural roads and urban streets will be resurfaced over the next two months.

Works include laying a layer of bitumen and applying stone chippings which are rolled in.

However, motorists are being warned to watch their speed as loose chippings can result in broken windscreens and damage to paintwork.

Driving over loose chippings can also affect traction and there is a danger of losing control of vehicles that are being driven too fast.

A council spokesman said: "Redressing prevents roads from deteriorating from wear through traffic and weather and also improves surface texture.

"The surface redressing programme takes a great deal of planning and co-ordination and we are extremely grateful to the motoring public for their co-operation and patience while we carry out these operations."
