The council has now approved an additional £400,000 investment, bringing its total investment in roads and footways maintenance to £5.6million this year.

Cabinet Member for Green New Deal and Sustainability, Councillor Jim Montgomerie, said: "Roads condition is a national issue, and we know that our residents want us to invest in areas they care about, such as improving the condition of the roads network.

"That's why our roads maintenance investment programme has been increased by almost 25 per cent this year to take total investment to £5.6m to help make a tangible improvement to road and footway condition."
