DERBYSHIRE: Roads repairs cash announced

Derbyshire County Council has announced that it will spend £100,000 on drainage work on the A632 Main Road, at Langwith.

A further £45,000 will be spent on road resurfacing on the A615 Doehole Lane, at Alfreton, the council said.

The works are part of £911,000 in road repairs and other improvements which the authority plans to carry out across the county in July.

The money is part of a £35 million package Derbyshire County Council will spend on improving the roads in 2014/15.
