School Street carriageway surface
The York Council appointed a new highways boss recently.
He’s likely to get a frosty reception if he ventures into Acomb following his decision earlier in the week to leave School Street off this year’s resurfacing programme. The surface of the carriageway there has been labelled “the worst road in York”.
Not a single footpath or road will be resurfaced in neighbourhoods like Chapelfields and Foxwood.
In a break with tradition the report, to another behind closed doors meeting, failed to identify in which wards the programmed schemes are actually located. This had been a useful way to reassure residents that the limited funding was being shared fairly. References are made to several very long streets (Wetherby Road, Front Street, Hamilton Drive etc.) although the money available will resurface only short lengths of them.
The Director has apparently agreed that the assessments made of each road in the City will be made publicly available in future. This is unlikely to be much of a consultation to those living on the west of the City
Local footpaths that will be resurfaced include:
Carriageways due for attention include:
Taken together the investment in roads and footpaths in west York is now at a record low level.
The government has announced that York will be given £120,000 to fill in potholes that have arisen during the floods and winter weather experienced over recent months

The allocation has been described as derisory as it is less that the £180,000 cut from maintenance funding over the last 2 years.
The Dpt estimates that 2,264 potholes in the City can be filled in using their allocation.
