Dual carriageways in Derbyshire to get annual maintenance and clean
Derbyshire County Council are gearing up to carry out their annual roads spring clean.
Each summer with the help of the district and borough councils, Derbyshire County Council carry out a maintenance programme on all the dual carriageways in the county.
The work includes cutting the grass on the central reservations and at the sides of the roads, picking up litter, emptying the gullies and drains, fixing any potholes, and any other bits of maintenance work that need carrying out.
DCC Cabinet Member for Highways Assets and Transport, Councillor Kewal Singh Athwal, said:
“By bringing together different teams from the county council, and our district and borough partners to do this vital work we can be more efficient and not impact the travelling public too much.
“We don’t start this work until July so that we are kinder to nature by letting the grass grow a bit longer so that some native species are given longer to flower or seed.
“Most of the dual carriageways will only have lane closures, but we will need to fully close some of them to enable the work to be carried out safely so I’d like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.”
