Roadowrks DOZENS of road and footpath repairs in residential areas are set to go ahead after previous works were finished with budget to spare. A £12m programme to combat deterioration of residential roads was approved by the Bolton Council’s cabinet in September 2019. Each of the borough’s 20 council wards was allocated £600,000 to spend on repairs and improvements. The programme began in October 2019 and since then more than 250 improvements to roads and footpaths have taken place across the borough. More than 19 miles of road has already been resurfaced and more than five miles of footpaths repaired. The Highways Investment Programme was financed through a £7m loan funded by dividends from shares in Manchester Airport, together with £3m income received from capital receipts from the sale of council buildings.
