City of York Council has announced its programme of road and footpath repair and renewal work for the 2024/25 financial year.

Disappointingly, Dringhouses & Woodthorpe ward will see £0 invested this year by the council to make local roads and footpaths safer. Badly potholed roads such as Middlethorpe Drive, Lycett Road, Hob Moor Terrace, Alness Drive and Acomb Wood Drive will continue to deteriorate, making it less likely that residents will choose to cycle rather than drive.

Footpaths across Woodthorpe in particular continue to deteriorate, with the top layer of tarmac crumbling away on streets such as Annan Close.

The local Lib Dem team will continue to report in locations in need of attention, though more often than not the response from the council is that no action is required.
