Loveridge Avenue carriageway funding

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the tentative proposals for carriageway works on Loveridge Avenue are likely to fall under the 2017-18 highways budget.

As we started previously, we are working with the officers to ensure that these proposals are implemented.  Our latest information is that the officers cannot guarantee that these schemes, for which provisional budgets have already been calculated, will go ahead until their budget allocation for next year is known.  We will therefore continue for these works to be given serious consideration; after all the hoo-hah with orange barriers, diverted  buses and all that in the City Centre it is about time other parts of the city got their fair share of highways funding.
