Doubled Coventry road money set to remain
Plans to maintain a council's investment in road resurfacing, after it was roughly doubled, are set to be approved.
By the end of the financial year £6m will have been spent in Coventry, compared to about £3m in 2009-10.
The money, which includes cash for repairing potholes, would increase to £6.1m in 2011-12 under the proposals.
Officers have recommended the plans for approval ahead of a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
The council said by the end of next March it would have treated more than a quarter of the city's road network in 2010-11 and 2011-12.
In total, officers have recommended more than £10m in investment in roads for approval.
This includes improvements for pedestrians and cyclists such as joining up cycle routes and providing dropped kerbs.
