Essential work on some local roads

Some roads in the Newtown area will undergo essential resurfacing work over the coming weeks.

The work will begin on Monday, 8 June, Powys County Council has confirmed.
 
Two separate crews will work across the county, including Newtown. The attached photograph shows the process that will be carried out.
 
Cllr Heulwen Hulme, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: “This planned schedule of works will be carried out on nearly 40 deteriorated sites on our county road network which will be resurfaced to strengthen and improve them for years to come." 

“All highways staff have been provided with the appropriate training and equipment to keep both themselves and the public safe whilst they work to complete the resurfacing work and Welsh Government social distancing guidelines for the workplace will be followed.”
 
Residents are asked to keep any eye out for yellow advance information signs alerting them of when works will be taking place in their area.
 
“We would like to thank all our staff for their continued hard work at this time and the support and patience shown by our residents, thank you," added Cllr Hulme.
