Improvements across the entire borough
More than 60 road or footpath improvements costing £9 million are being carried out in Trafford for the year ahead . Some £4.9m of the cash comes from the Department for Transport's City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement and a further £3m has been contributed by Trafford council itself with an additional £516,000 from the Government's pothole action fund.
The authority has been allocated nearly £3m from the CRSTS for the following three years, but Trafford's own contribution and cash from the pothole action fund is yet to be determined. In addition to highway maintenance, the council is applying for other funding that supports additional highway infrastructure linked to active travel including improvements to walking and cycling.
Trafford council is currently looking to spend a further £13m from this funding pot in the next two years. Most of the work started in April, but resurfacing work at the A56 Cross Street at junction 7 of the M60 in the Stretford/Ashton On Mersey ward has been completed.Others that are ongoing in the various council wards are as follows:
