Something’s improving on Epworth’s streets this February
Comments Off on Something’s improving on Epworth’s streets this FebruaryEveryday journeys in Epworth are set to become smoother, safer and more comfortable, with fresh investment focused on the roads people rely on most.
From February through to early March, some of the town’s busiest routes will be upgraded, making everyday journeys smoother, safer and more comfortable for everyone who uses them – whether travelling to work, school, shops or local businesses.
The improvements will be delivered through full resurfacing works on High Street West, High Street East and Carrside, giving these key streets a visible, long-lasting upgrade and a better feel underfoot and wheel.
Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council said: “This is about investing in the everyday things that matter most to people. Roads shape how we experience our towns – how easy they are to get around, how safe they feel and how welcoming they are for residents and visitors alike.
“By focusing on streets that are used day in, day out, we’re making sure our investment delivers real, noticeable improvements for communities.”
Deputy leader and cabinet member for highways, Cllr Neil Poole, said: “Residents don’t want temporary fixes – they want roads that feel right to use. This work will give Epworth smoother surfaces, safer conditions and a clear step up in quality.
“We’ve also planned the programme carefully, timing works to reduce disruption while still delivering a result residents will notice straight away.”
To help keep the town moving, work on High Street West will take place during school holidays, while High Street East will be worked on Sundays, with roads reopened each evening wherever possible to maintain access to homes and businesses.
Advance notices and on-street signage will be in place ahead of works starting.
