Bury council has now provided given details on the next stage of its £30m highway investment programme, with scores of roads to be resurfaced or receive preventative treatments. The list includes some major roads including Bury New Road, the primary arterial route through Prestwich and Whitefield and Bury and Bolton Road in Radcliffe

The council will spend £3.2m over the 12-month period to make improvements to more than 140,000 sqm of road surface across the Bury borough. Some roads will be fully resurfaced which involves mechanical removal of the existing road surface and laying of a new surface.

Others will benefit from preventative maintenance where roads are overlaid with either surface dressing or micro asphalt which seals the surface prolonging the life of the road. Coun Alan Quinn, cabinet member for the environment, climate change and operations, said: “The annual amount £5.5m for 2024/25 allocated to Bury by the Department for Transport is totally inadequate and less than half of what is needed to maintain good standards across the 660km network of Bury’s roads and other highway assets.

“This has been the case for many years, hence why Bury Council is investing £30 million of extra funding for priority work on local roads.” The 75 roads to benefit from preventative maintenance during the next year will be determined over the next few weeks after surveys are completed following the winter.

The 30 roads included in the 2024/25 resurfacing programme are:

Ashbourne Grove, Whitefield

Bentley Lane, Ramsbottom

Bridge Road, Bury

Bury and Bolton Road, Radcliffe

Bury New Road, Whitefield/Prestwich

Conway Avenue, Whitefield
