More than 34 miles of Rotherham’s roads to be improved – here are all the roads earmarked for repair

Earlier this month, the council’s cabinet approved the highway repair programme for 2024/25, part of the four-year Rotherham Roads Programme. The programme is set to deliver repairs to 235 maintenance schemes, covering 34.6 miles of roads and 5.6 miles of footways across the borough.

Councillor Robert Taylor, cabinet member for transport, jobs, and the local economy, said that the borough’s roads remain a ‘priority’ for the authority.

He added: “The roads and footways are surveyed and inspected regularly, and this allows us to keep the network safe and in a good condition. A range of innovative surface treatments and materials are used to provide cost effective solutions and provide value for money for residents. Customer satisfaction is positive, and a falling number of complaints also suggests that our roads investment is working.”
