Cllr Chris Hobson (MICA) Executive Member for Adults and Public Health and Independent member for Marton West HIGHWAYS chiefs have warned of “significant pressure” facing a Teesside council after leaders set aside an extra £2m for dozens of bridge inspections. Middlesbrough Council maintains and repairs 106 bridges across the town – as well as 65 culverts, eight subways and underpasses, and 27 retaining walls.
