Plans to resurface almost 60 roads and pavements across the authority in the next 12 months
We've drawn up proposals for a major roadworks programme which will use an additional investment of £3.5million over the next financial year to improve the condition of local residential roads.
Published: 21 March 2024
Last year, we committed a further £17.5m of capital investment for roads infrastructure over the next five years, an increase to £3.5m per year, starting in 2024-25.
The paper which will go to Councillors for approval next week includes details of the 51 roads and eight pavements which will be resurfaced in the coming year.
The projects cover all five Council ward areas across the authority, with improvements set to begin next month.
In the first five years of extra money being spent on resurfacing, a total of 172 roads and 57 pavements were improved.
The projects planned for next year will see the figures for resurfacing rise to 223 roads and 65 pavements.
As well as this additional capital funding, more than £1m of general capital funding for roads resurfacing is also available and will be spent on all classes of roads in East Renfrewshire.
Once approved, roads and pavements in the additional capital resurfacing works programme will include: Broom Crescent and Dalmeny Drive in Barrhead, Double Hedges Road and Glen Tarbert Drive in Neilston, Melford Avenue and Denholm Drive in Giffnock, Field Grove and Glenville Terrace in Busby, Lomondside Avenue and Moraine Drive in Clarkston, Borland Crescent and Kirkton Drive in Eaglesham, Floors Road in Waterfoot and Hill Avenue and Knowes Avenue in Newton Mearns.
As with previous years, the prioritisation of the resurfacing projects is based on a range of factors including: the structural condition of the road or pavement, its usage, cost of maintenance for the previous three years, number of complaints received and geographical spread.
