Derbyshire's Duel Carriageways To Get Yearly Maintenance And Tidy
Derbyshire County Council are to carry out their annual spring clean of the county’s dual carriageways.
Derbyshire County Council are to carry out their annual ‘spring’ clean of the county’s dual carriageways.
Each summer the council, with the help from district and borough councils, carry out a maintenance programme on all the dual carriageways in the county.
The work includes cutting the grass on the central reservations and at the sides of the roads, emptying the gullies and drains, making any road repairs needed, and any other bits of maintenance work that needs carrying out.
The district and borough councils will be picking up any litter at the side of the road or in the central reservation.
Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways Assets and Transport, Councillor Charlotte Cupit, said: “Once a year we give all our dual carriageways a ‘spring’ clean. We used to do this in the spring, but now we don’t start until July so that we are kinder to nature. By letting the grass grow a bit longer and giving some species longer to flower or seed we’re helping give our local environment and wildlife a boost.
“By working together with different teams and our district and borough council partners, we can work faster and reduce our impact on those travelling.
“Most of the dual carriageways will only have lane closures, but we will need to fully close some of them to enable the work to be carried out safely. Where this is the case we’ll be sure to work as quickly as possible. I’d like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.”
