Nottinghamshire County Council has published a list of 44 of the worst roads in the county which are due to be repaired.
In February, the county council announced a £2 million ’emergency’ pot of money would go towards road fixes across 35 sites deemed in immediate need.
The following month, a ‘game-changing’ £122.5 million ‘phase one’ sum was announced to be pumped into fixing the county’s road network in 2026/27.
This total was then brought up to £181.25 million when its phase two scheme for 2026/27 was announced in April, adding an extra £58.75 million.
Around £11.2 million of the phase two pot was already earmarked that month to be set aside for the so-called ‘Worst First’ roads, where each councillor at the authority could submit three key roads in the areas they represent to be put forward for priority works.
More than 150 councillor requests for roads to be resurfaced were put forward and highway officers and staff have now narrowed this down to 44 sites which met the requirements for full resurfacing.
Speaking on the new priority scheme, Council leader, Mick Barton (Reform), said “It’s brilliant stuff”, adding: “All three priority roads by each councillor will be addressed in some way or another.
“The ones that haven’t made this [scheme] for resurfacing or surface dressing will still get maintained in some way by JCB patch repairs or the first time crews.”
In May, the authority’s two new leased JCB Pothole Pro machines began works on roads, where the machines will be trialled by the authority for 12 months.
Cllr Barton said each of the 44 priority works will be done by the end of this year and said Reform UK’s headquarters were using the County Council as an example for what can be done for local roads.
He continued: “Councillors know their areas the best and work closely with their communities, so it’s also the community having a say.
“It’s going to have a massive difference across the county. This year, what we’re doing with highways, that’s the Reform way.”
