Extra money has been given to the county council to repair and fix potholes.

Hertfordshire County Council was given an extra £943,000 of funding from the Department of Transport's pothole action fund.

All 77 members of the county council have selected a total of 127 sites throughout the county, many of which have been flagged up by the public but do not currently meet the criteria for emergency repair.

Terry Douris, Hertfordshire County Council's in charge of highways, said: “Hertfordshire's 3,000 miles of roads are among the busiest in the country, with over five billion vehicle miles travelled every year and this inevitably results in wear and tear leading to potholes and defects.

"This year we have spent more than £30m on road maintenance and repairs.

"We have taken time in planning to ensure that this money is used as effectively as possible to improve the condition of our roads."

Over the next few months, around 16,000 square metres of road throughout the county will be resurfaced – the equivalent of more than two rugby pitches.

Resurfacing works are scheduled as follows:

October:

Abbots Langley, Sarratt, Watford, Dacorum, South Oxhey, Bushey, Rickmansworth, Borehamwood, St Albans, Croxley Green, Radlett, Oxhey Hall, Redbourn, Colney Heath Hatfield, Tring, Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Flaunden and Bricket Wood

November:

St Albans, London Colney, Potters Bar, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, Hitchin, Letchworth, Northaw, Marshalswick, Harpenden, Stevenage, Cuffley, Hatfield and Kelshall

December:

Harpenden, Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage, Codicote, Hitchin and Welham Green

January:

Barley, Royston and Baldock

The funding has been made available as part of the Government’s £250m Pothole Action Fund which will fix over four million potholes by 2020/21.

All works are weather dependent and the scheduled times of planned works are subject to change.
