I was very pleased to see Scott Avenue resurfaced in January this year, following years of campaigning.
I asked officers for a breakdown of the cost and received the following reply:
Following on from our email correspondence below regarding the cost of re-surfacing Scott Avenue, an officer in the Structural Maintenance Team has responded as follows:
“The estimated budget for the scheme is £65k, however, individual schemes that are complete typically take quite a few months to undertake snagging works, final measuring, and agreement of final invoices with contractors and as such the costs may increase slightly.”
I will keep fighting to improve Podsmead’s roads and pavements.
