NEATH PORT TALBOT Council has approved a programme of works worth £4m for road and path maintenance across the borough this year.
The scheme was written up by council officers using information from technical officers, inspection reports, and local councillor surgeries with funds taken from Welsh Government and the authority’s maintenance revenue funding.
It will see work take place on a series of projects which includes more than £1.8m being spent on carriageway resurfacing, £587,000 on highway maintenance, £300,000 on bridge strengthening, and £143,000 for footway resurfacing.
Cllr Scott Jones who is the cabinet member for streetscene, said the work was being done as part of an initiative to clean up and ‘green up’ communities in the borough though added that it also showed the “enormity of the task in keeping our roads, footpaths, bridges, and other infrastructure properly maintained”.
