£5 million funding boost for Cambridgeshire roads
Investment in road maintenance aims to prevent potholes and enhance safety
Cambridgeshire County Council has approved a £5 million investment to get roads ready for winter.
The money will be spent on fixing roads to stop potholes from forming and to make driving safer.
The funding will cover repairs along 30km of roads, focusing on preventing potholes and fixing existing problems.
This decision follows feedback from residents and difficulties experienced last winter, revealing a need for sturdier roads.
The repairs will use new techniques to create stronger road surfaces and reduce issues.
Last winter saw a big rise in potholes, causing widespread road issues and the county's plan is intended to prevent similar problems in the future.
Efforts will concentrate on using new methods to ensure repairs are done swiftly and effectively.
