Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is spending an extra £165,000 to fix holes left by the snow.
This week’s work is at:
* A4141 Warwick Road near Masons Way, working towards Lode Lane island.
* B4102 Birmingham Road Meriden.
* B4102 Hampton Lane Solihull, Meriden Road ,High Street Hampton.
* B4114 Chester Road ,Bradford Road.
* A45 Coventry Road.
* A452 Collector Road.
The councils says the work will take eight weeks to complete.
Councillor Ted Richards, cabinet member for transport and highways, said: “The initial work we have undertaken to date would suggest the roads in Solihull are not as bad as some other areas regionally and we believe this is as a result of the proactive treatment of sealing surfaces last year, which has reduced cracking and the subsequent potholes.”
In a press release, he said: “We are sure the travelling public will appreciate that during this period it will take a little time to repair all of the priority potholes.
“This may mean that some potholes are not treated as quickly as we would like and we would therefore ask drivers to take care on our roads at this time.”
