LACK OF CASH FOR ROAD REPAIRS “SCANDALOUS”
Recently I have been vocal (at the recent Prestwich Area Partnership meeting and in the press) about the state of our local roads and the amount of money available to spend on them. Quite frankly I believe it is scandalous that we are expected to rubber stamp a paltry figure for road repairs that will barely scratch the surface of the work that is actually required to bring our roads and pavements up to scratch.
For information below I list the roads Local councillors and your Area Partnership have been asked to choose from to decide where the £105,000 available should be spent. The roads are listed in order of priority and I am sure you can think of roads near you that are worthy of inclusion. The top 6 are carried over from last year - we didn’t have enough then either! (Holyrood roads in capitals).
1. Fairway (cost of repairs) £152724
2. Sunny Drive £17862
3. Meade Hill Road £33926
4.OAKLANDS DRIVE £26575
5. West Meade £46084
6.Downham Crescent (part) £12243
7.CUCKOO LANE (part) £30961
8. MOUNT ROAD £76510
9. Barnhill Drive £28644
10. PENNANT DRIVE £10659
11.Mowbray Avenue £44938
12.PARRENTHORN RD £115194
