Despite a 56% cut in the budget to resurface roads and footpaths representations by Ann Reid means that work has started on resurfacing the footpaths in Glenridding.

Next will be Acomb Wood Drive where the resurfacing of its whole length starts on 7th May (see right). The work consists of excavating the current surfacing and replacing with two new layers of tarmac.

The Contractor carrying out the work will be City of York Council’s Highways department which will be working between 8.00am and 4.00pm Monday to Friday.

The only other streets to benefit this year are footpaths in Wordsworth Crescent and Middlethorpe Grove (from the junction with Tadcaster Rd to Hunters Way).

The resurfacing of Cherry Lane and Deepdale is not expected to start until 2013/14.
