Millions of pounds could be spent on roads resurfacing, filling in potholes and highways maintenance schemes in Calderdale over the next 12 months.

Senior councillors will be asked to approve a £6.9 million programme for work on some of Calderdale’s highways this year when they meet on Monday (June 12).

The council’s Cabinet will be asked to back a proposed City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) Programme for the financial year 2023-24.

They are also asked to make a number of other approvals, including developing a programme of works for tackling Calderdale’s potholes – it is estimated the borough should get around £780,000 of West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s £6.49 million, granted for the purpose.

In addition to the £6.9 million available for highways schemes under the programme, there is expected to be a small amount of “carry over” from previous underspent schemes which can also go into the pot, councillors are told.

Of the £6.9 million, £3.17 is earmarked for road maintenance; £500,000 for footway maintenance; £1.74 million to help maintain structures including bridges; £540,000 for other schemes, for example pavement “furniture” decluttering; £440,000 for the council’s Safer Roads programme, taken from a list including local safety schemes, speed management projects, 20 miles per hour zones and a pedestrian crossing programme.

There will also be £190,000 for Active Travel schemes promoting walking, cycling and use of public transport, and £350,000 for signalling and other network needs.
