'Our residents deserve to have their highways and footpaths maintained'
A huge new plan could rid Oldham of potholes, councillors have claimed. They've given a £4.5m scheme to tackle crumbling roads the green light.
It's aimed at improving road safety and and sprucing up pavements. The funding was secured by the town hall alongside an ongoing plan to 'future-proof' the borough's roads. Chris Goodwin, portfolio holder for Don't Trash Oldham, told a cabinet meeting: "Our residents deserve to have their highways and footpaths maintained."In the last financial year we spent more than any other year repairing potholes. With this funding I think this investment is going to continue."
Council leader Arooj Shah added: "It is really important because these are the kinds of things the public judges by." Part of the government’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement, the council has a year to spend the money. And they’ve already set their sights on the Oldham roads in most need of TLC.The funding will also be used for projects such as creating safety measures around schools, better disabled access and traffic calming schemes in Greenfield, Saddleworth North and Shaw.
