Microasphalt treatment*: £0.52million
Footway improvements: £1.50million
The figures include extra investment from central government of approximately £9million.
Roger Elkins, Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure, said: “This is excellent news: we know how important the highways network is to people and this level of investment clearly acknowledges this.”

Notes to editors:
*Microasphalt is a preventative measure used to seal and prolong the life of roads and footways which have more minor damage. It involves treating existing surfaces which are structurally sound but starting to deteriorate.
