During 2016, I led a campaign, assisted by local Councillor Tim Ball, to make the roads across our area safer for all users.

The campaign included surveys, petitions and numerous meetings with Council Officers and the Divisional Director for Environmental Services to ensure the issues that affect everyone in this area were highlighted.

I am pleased to confirm that we have secured £155,000 to be spent specifically on the severely deteriorating road surface on Kelston View.

We appreciate this is not enough to replace the complete road, however, we have been told that some of the road will be re-surfaced with micro-asphalt and the worst area in the middle of Kelston View will be subject to a new process of re-stabilisation and re-surfacing.

The Council have agreed to include me in any discussions that take place throughout this work to ensure that residents views are taken on board throughout. If you wish to make any comments or express any views on this work, or would like to be kept informed of progress of the work, please do get in touch.

Councillor Tim Ball and I will continue with this campaign to ensure other roads across the area are also fully repaired and not just patched, this may take a bit longer to achieve, but we will not stop until every road in this area is sorted.

Please contact either Liberal Democrat Councillor Tim Ball or muself if you would like to discuss this or any other issues you may have.
