Plans for how to use the additional £2.61m added to the roads reconstruction programme at last month’s budget have now been completed.
The total value of works planned for 2021/22 is £10m, as reported to the Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee earlier this month. Members will review the full, updated, programme at the committee’s next meeting in June.
The 2021/22 roads reconstruction programme includes schemes which are carried over from the current financial year. Covid, and the restrictions imposed on constructions works, meant no surface dressing was carried out in this financial year. However, significant preparatory work was undertaken.
The Roads Reconstruction Programme aims to arrest the rate of decline and provide an overall improvement in condition. The success of this approach has been demonstrated in recent years through independent evaluation, as outlined in the Annual Status and Options Report.
Councillor Rory Colville, Policy Lead for Roads and Infrastructure Services, said: “This is a significant investment and recognises the vital role that transport and travel will play in Argyll and Bute’s post-Covid recovery.”

These works area additional to those presented to the committee on 4 March: /moderngov/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=546&MId=14096&Ver=4
The overall budget is divided on the basis of the area of the road network. For example, there is a greater road surface area in Oban, Lorn and the Isles than in Helensburgh and Lomond.
