Surface dressing under way in North Yorkshire during a previous programme ANNUAL maintenance to prolong the life of hundreds of miles of road in North Yorkshire is getting under way. Each summer, North Yorkshire County Council invests more than £10m in improving sections of the county’s 5,800-mile road network through its surface dressing programme. Surface dressing is a quick, efficient and cost-effective way of maintaining skid-resistant and waterproof road surfaces, helping to prevent deterioration. It also extends the life of the road by up to ten years and restores a uniform appearance. County Councillor Don Mackenzie, executive member for access, said: “Despite a significant reduction this year in central Government funding for highway maintenance, we have protected our surface dressing programme, because it is vital in ensuring we maintain the condition of our network.

Dark Skies Engineers saved £5 million and helped to boost North Yorkshire s winter tourism as they replaced 50,400 street lights. North Yorkshire County Council has completed its programme of installing energy-saving LED lamps on all its highway lights two years ahead of schedule and at a cost of £8 million instead of the estimated £13 million. It hopes the programme will lead to reduced maintenance and repair costs, improved lighting, a cut in the council s carbon footprint and standardisation of the county s street lights. Along the way it has helped the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks earn International Dark Sky Reserve status by using special LED bulbs in the two parks in fittings that stop light going upwards and lighting up the sky.
