Wirral roads and pavements will benefit from around £4 million of improvements over the coming year as part of the council's annual Highway Maintenance Programme.

Works will be targeted at tackling general wear and tear and potholes - scroll down to see the list of the forthcoming Heswall, Pensby and Thingwall repairs.

The work to the surface of Wirral roads will start this month with preparation works, such as filling in any potholes and sweeping the roads, happening first. This work follows on from the completion of last year's programme.

Simon Fox, Interim Assistant Director – Highways and Infrastructure, said: "Wirral's road network is in good condition generally and is in the top quartile nationally. However, it needs continual investment to maintain it at that level.

"Repairing roads across the borough is essential to keep Wirral moving – whether that be by bike, on foot or in a vehicle – and our annual programme is a major investment to deliver on those expectations, keep our residents safe and help our borough with its economic recovery, post COVID-19."

The roads selected for repair follow results from a condition survey as well as reports received from highways inspectors, the public, and Wirral councillors.

These are the roads to be repaired in our part of the world.
