Plans have been unveiled for a £1.2million investment into roads and footpaths across South Gloucestershire.
The investment comes as part of a more than £2million package of works announced in May this year to boost transport infrastructure and improve local roads, with almost £1million being used to upgrade metrobus services around Emersons Green and Lyde Green.
This latest investment builds on the £10million programme of transport infrastructure updates and maintenance works approved earlier this year by the Council’s Conservative Administration, part of a £174million record investment made since 2019.
Among the roads set for resurfacing works as part of the investment are:
In the Stoke Gifford Ward: Collins Avenue, Grange Avenue, Hawkesley Drive, Lawford Avenue Rossall Avenue and Stokebridge Avenue
In Winterbourne: Bradstone Road, England’s Crescent, Gazzard Road, Lewton Lane, Saint Michael’s Close, Salem Road and Starbarn Road
In Hanham: Footshill Close and Holmwood
In the Charlton and Cribbs Ward: Callicroft Road and Fir Tree Close
In Kingswood: Coronation Road, Fairview Road, Gages Close and Kingsleigh Court
In Chipping Sodbury: Blanchards and Melbourne Drive
Footpaths being resurfaced in the expanded programme include:
In the Frenchay and Downend Ward: Four Acre Avenue, Glendale, Heath Court, Heath Gardens, Heath Road, Heath Walk, Oakdale Avenue, Oakdale Close, Oakdale Road, Sandholm Close, Sandringham Avenue and Windsor Court
In the Pilning and Severn Beach Ward: Abbot Road, Ableton Lane, Albert Road, Beach Avenue, Beach Road, Denny Isle Drive, Prospect Road, School Way, Severnwood Gardens, Station Road and Victoria Crescent

Cllr Steve Reade, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Environment and Strategic Infrastructure, said: “It is important to us that residents can look out their front door and be proud to call South Gloucestershire home and it is great we are in this position where we can make further improvements that benefit people whether they are driving, walking, cycling or taking public transport.”
