Investment in our roads and footways

A total of £17 million investment is being made in Barnsley’s roads and active travel initiatives across the borough.

This includes:

• £12.2 million for the Highways Capital Maintenance Programme (excluding any principal towns work).
• £2 million for highways works on local B and C roads that connect small towns and villages across the borough.
• £2.2 million on active travel initiatives, funded through the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement.

Types of surface treatment

Highway and footway improvements include different treatments used as appropriate following an assessment by highways engineers.

Potholes

When we carry out repairs to potholes, these are temporary repairs to remove the immediate hazard. These and any subsequent repairs will continue until the road is due for a more permanent repair through our Highways Capital Programme. You can report potholes to us on our dedicated potholes webpage.

This schedule may be subject to change. A number of factors can impact scheduled works.
