Resurfacing work to start on village roads

The work to improve the roads would "give them many more years of life"

Three roads in Cherry Willingham near Lincoln will be resurfaced at a cost of £240,000, Lincolnshire County Council has said.

The work starts on Monday on the High Street, Croft Lane and Jubilee Close and is estimated to be finished by 8 August.

Fiskerton Road was resurfaced in June and the council said the total cost of the work in this area was just under £700,000.

A spokesperson said the new surfaces would “improve the roads and give them many more years of life”.

Karen Cassar, assistant director for highways, said: “A lot of money is being spent and our crews are working literally day and night to get these improvements in place to make the area better for road users."
