Resurfacing Local Roads at No Cost to Local Taxpayers

Several roads in Bedford Borough are set to be resurfaced, at no cost to the Council.

These roads have recently had resurfacing works carried out by a contractor, but after inspections carried out by the Council, it has been agreed that some of the work was not of an acceptable quality.

In response, the Council has worked with the contractor who have agreed to re-do these works at no cost to the Council.

The roads set to be resurfaced include Knights Avenue and Highbury Grove, Tyne Crescent, Brunel Road, Queens Drive, and Great Barford High Street, and the works will be carried in out over May and June 2018.

Cllr Charles Royden, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Transport said “We carry out careful inspections of the quality of all resurfaced roads. The contractor has agreed to carry out these works at no cost to the Council or the local taxpayers."
