Roads and footpaths to be repaired in the 2018/2019 fiscal year have been published.
Almost £8.5 million will be spent on these planned repairs, funded from the city’s regular expenditure budgets and from one-off investments. Large improvement projects include £363k for road and footpath renovations in Marygate, £180k for carriageway improvements on the A19 at Skelton and £200k at Clifton.
Stockton-on-the-Forest will also see £150k for various repairs.
£200k has been set aside for drainage work, £250k for investigation and engineering for future drainage works and £100k for improving various roads and streets which have been subject to the installation of fibre optic internet cables.
£100k has also been set aside for repairs on the city walls.
Cllr. Peter Dew, Executive member for transport and planning said: “A look down this list of scheduled repairs is a chance for the public to get a good idea of the work that the council does day in and day out to keep our infrastructure in as best shape as we can.
“We do have monetary pressures to contend with, but our Conservative-led administration has continued to commit resources to some of the necessary but less glamorous repair work, such as on gullies and drainage, and on our priceless city walls, which our Labour predecessors neglected. This neglect has cost York dear and as we work through our programme of improvements we’ll do our best to make sure that our city’s basic infrastructure is never again starved of investment for ongoing repairs.”
