Inverness motorists are to benefit from smoother road conditions as dozens of streets are earmarked for improvement from resurfacing works.
Highland councillors have approved a rigorous roads maintenance programme for the upcoming financial year 2022/2023 in an effort to restore order to the city’s streets.
More than 30 locations across the Highland capital have been prioritised for urgent resurfacing works in the coming months.
A further 60 additional locations have also been approved as reserved projects, which will be addressed subject to an increase in capital funding or excess funds being carried forward.
Wells Street, Margaret Street and Carsegate Road in the city centre are among the locations set to undergo resurfacing works.
Provost and leader of the City of Inverness area committee, Helen Carmichael, said: “Members understand and recognise the importance that communities regard the condition of their local roads and have prioritised locations for repairs within the financial resources available.”
