£20 million to be spent on roads

The money will be spent on work including resurfacing roads and pavements, gully and drainage improvements, bridge replacements, street lighting, new road signs and safety measures.

Cllr Dean Collins, Deputy Cabinet Member for Jobs, Economy and Transport, said: “A good roads network is essential to connect communities together and also support businesses which will help to improve the economy in Derbyshire.”
