The work includes cutting the grass on the central reservations and at the sides of the roads, trimming back trees and shrubs to improve visibility, emptying the gullies and drains, carrying out pothole and other road repairs where needed and any other bits of maintenance work that needs carrying out.
We work with district and borough councils who will be picking up litter at the side of the road or in the central reservation at the same time while the traffic management is in place.
Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Potholes, Highways and Transport, Councillor Charlotte Hill, said:
“This annual programme of maintenance means that we can carry out lots of different jobs at the same time.
“We try to schedule any road closures to be outside of peak times so that we minimise inconvenience for those using these routes.”
