Notts roads to be fixed with cash from HS2

COUNCILS have confirmed the Nottinghamshire roads to be resurfaced using money that would have been spent on HS2.

Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council aim to complete work on dozens of roads by the year’s end. Projects include preventative work on Wollaton Road and resurfacing Colwick Loop Road.

It comes after the leg of HS2 that would have brought the line to the East Midlands was scrapped by Rishi Sunak last year. The Prime Minister said the money would instead be used on local transport projects across the country.

The city council said: “This additional carriageway maintenance programme has been put together using the latest condition data to increase the number of roads within the city brought up to a satisfactory standard. To ensure the funds go as far as possible, the programme is made up of both standard carriageway resurfacing and preventative maintenance.

“This approach will allow us to cover a larger area and improve more roads within the city. The funds have been utilised in full.”
