Multi-million pound repair work looks set to take place on roads in the East Kilbride area.

Elaine McRobert from Gardenhall reckoned slip roads in her area of the town had been snubbed.
“The slip road towards Gardenhall has been left since the bad winter we had,” she said.
Danny Kinniburgh, along with wife Maureen, felt more could be done to save drivers facing costly repairs.
He continued: “The road near us on the road to Greenhills had been repaired recently. You could see for a while that it was needing done, with big chunks out of it.”

“It’s been patched up but needs more done,” she insisted.
Chris Ward added: “There have been times where you stop and worry that you’ve broken your tyres so it’s good they’re investing.”
