WORK is to start next month on improving the county's rural roads.

The programme will begain with 'patching repair work' as part of the Department for Transport’s £2.558m additional investment for highways.

This, Herefordshire Council say, is in preparation for further injection of funding next year that will focus on an extensive surface treatment on areas of the network.

The programme has been developed using asset management processes, including all available data, such as surveys and statutory inspections, to select sections of road that are at the optimum point in their life cycle for being surface dressed. 

In addition to considering existing highways drainage issues at sites, it is aimed at preventing these roads from deteriorating to the point where they require expensive resurfacing. 

The works will be carried out by Balfour Beatty Living Places.
