Wirral Council will spend nearly £6m this summer to fix surfaces and potholes on more than 100 roads.

The work will be carried out on 138 roads, pavements and bridges across the Wirral with the funding coming through a settlement from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. Work to resurface roads will take place over the summer due to better weather and longer days.

Wirral Council was criticised for the state of the roads across the borough in February. One delivery driver claimed they were able to claim £1,000 after he blew two tyres on a pothole and data showed the quality of roads were getting worse.

In response to the criticism, the local authority said it had a robust inspection system and prioritised repairs based on the risks to drivers and other road users. They said the conditions of roads in Wirral were in the top 25% across the country.

Ahead of the planned road works, environment and transport chair Cllr Liz Grey said: “As a local authority, we have a legal duty to maintain roads within the borough and this work requires continual investment. The roads earmarked for improvements are prioritised based on condition surveys, as well as reports carried out by highways inspectors, residents and councillors.

“Repairing roads across the borough is essential to keep Wirral moving – whether that be by bike, on foot or in a vehicle – and our annual programme is a major investment to deliver on those expectations and keep our residents safe. We know that often roadworks delay people’s journeys, and we apologise for that, but the end result is better, safer surfaces.”
