NNC stated that “Surface dressing improves the road surface, skid resistance and seals the surface to stop water getting in.”
Cllr Chris McGiffen, the council’s Executive Member for Highways and Travel, said:
“After such a wet and rainy winter, it’s vital that we take this opportunity to repair as many roads as possible during the summer months – ensuring they are future proof for years to come and can handle the high levels of traffic we see in parts of North Northamptonshire.
“We continue to invest in our highways network, and I hope residents are starting to see the results – we know there is a long way to go, but we are on the right route now and are committed to doing all we can, with the resources and funding we have.”
