Surface dressing ahead of schedule this year

STAFFORDSHIRE County Council’s surface dressing programme to prolong the life of its roads is already streets ahead of schedule for this time of year.

- 

Crews have already completed more than half a million square metres of surface treatments, the equivalent of around 60 linear miles.

Since March this year, a total of 254 sites have been treated across the county, and teams are making the most of the good weather to treat even more.

Surface dressing involves structurally repairing roads from end-to-end before applying a new top surface.
