An extra £6m will go into fixing Glasgow's roads
Seven thousand potholes were reported to Glasgow City Council in the first two months of 2023 alone. Now, the council is increasing its budget for road repairs to £12 million.
The £6m boost will double the current road maintenance budget and will ensure significant levels of additional work to fix potholes and other road faults in all 23 council wards is undertaken before the end of this financial year. Councillor Kelly said: “The winter is always a challenging time for road maintenance and the combined impact of low temperatures, rain and snow plays havoc with the condition of Glasgow’s roads and footways. Now is the time of year we need to catch up on that work.
“This investment means that over the next year we can target more of those areas where issues have emerged and we’ve already identified where those problems are. Glasgow’s roads have some of the highest usage in the country, which means more damage and more repairs required.
