Four roads across Torfaen will be resurfaced by Torfaen Council after receiving £238,000 from the Welsh Government. Two of the roads are in Cwmbran and work is due to start soon.
Rachel Jowitt, Chief Officer Neighbourhoods, Planning and Public Protection, approved a proposal to spend the cash on four roads in the county.
- Ton Road in Two Locks, Cwmbran- £62,000. Work starts on Monday 10 May and will take four days.
- Part of Newman Road, Trevethin – £56,000.
- Caerleon Road Ponthir ( Near the farm shop approach to Ponthir) £51,000.
- Llywelyn Road in Cwmbran- The stretch that runs between Asda and Sainsbury’s and onto Caradoc Road- £52,000. Work is expected to start in the next two to three weeks, weather permitting.
A £17,000 contingency fund has been put aside.
The council were told on 15 March 2021 that they had been awarded the money. Four roads have been assessed as being “within the greatest need of investment as assessed and within in the 2020/21 priority list…The Welsh Government Highways Maintenance Grant will assist in maintaining the highway network in a safe condition with no financial implications to the Authority.”
