Nairn roads maintenance programme approved

Members of the Highland Council’s Nairn Committee have approved the Council’s 2018/19 roads maintenance programme for the area.

Included in the approved road maintenance schedule are surface dressing works planned for A939 Nairn to Grantown-on-Spey Road at Cairn Duhie and Ferness; Impact patching at various locations; and Overlay Works at Fornighty, Manse Road and Cawdor Road in Auldearn and Blairfield Road in Tradespark.

The Nairn roads maintenance programme has been approved by local councillors pending confirmation of the Council’s Community Services Committee budget allocations for the area. Based on 2017-18 budgets, the Capital budget for Nairn was £292,300 and the Revenue budget for Nairn was £378,600 which includes £107,900 for winter maintenance.

The indicative programme is based on current engineering and safety priories and may alter if significant events impact priorities and resources.
