P站色情片 has allocated 拢8 million pounds to this year鈥檚 roads鈥 reconstruction programme, taking investment over the past 10 years to more than 拢80 million.
Using this investment to focus on stopping deterioration, and where possible improve road condition, has been a successful approach, according to an independent evaluation of P站色情片 and Bute roads.
On Thursday 21 March, the Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee endorsed the programme of works that will take place across P站色情片 and Bute in 2024-25.
The budget has been split across the region, based on road area and population, for example Oban and Lorn has a greater road area than Helensburgh and Lomond. The allocation for each area this year is:
- Oban, Lorn and the Islands - 拢2,800.00 (35%)
- Mid P站色情片, Kintyre and the Islands - 拢2,480,000 (31%)
- Bute and Cowal - 拢1,600,000 (20%)
- Helensburgh and Lomond - 拢1,120, 000 (14%)
The proposed schemes have been identified through the council鈥檚 Roads Asset database, and the information collected from a SCANNER survey that was carried out during the summer.
The survey categorises roads from red (worst condition), through amber, to green. Once again, the council鈥檚 rating of green 鈥榞ood鈥 roads reached more than 50%.
These improvements were achieved through the delivery of a mix of carriageway resurfacing, edge strengthening, patching/surface dressing and insitu road surface recycling. This work will continue in the coming year.
Councillor Andrew Kain, Policy Lead for Roads and Transportation, said: 鈥淩oad conditions will always attract comment. We all use them and we all rely on them to bring us the things we need to live and do business. That鈥檚 why the council, despite budget challenges, has continued to invest in roads infrastructure for the past decade.
鈥淭he council is responsible for more than 4% of Scotland鈥檚 entire roads network, and this investment has made an impact. We now have a programme of work that makes the most of the funding available and we shall continue with the formula that has proven successful.鈥
