POTHOLES across Flintshire highways are being tackled now that the worst of the winter weather is behind us, a council has said.

As we head towards better dryer conditions, Flintshire County Council has engaged contractors, supplemented by its own workforce, to address the issue of potholes across the highway network.

Flintshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Streetscene and Countryside, Cllr Carolyn Thomas, said: “The repairs will benefit all users of the network and I am delighted that we have been able to organise and fund this scheme of works to help remove potholes from our roads.

“Potholes will always form on the network, due to extreme weather conditions and the high volume of traffic across the county, but we continue to demonstrate our commitment to provide a well-maintained highway network for the residents and visitors of Flintshire by this work. There will be some inevitable disruption during the period of the contract for which I apologise in advance.”

The work will commence on Monday, May 13, for a duration of approximately 5 weeks, during which all roads across the county will be visited and any visible potholes repaired.
