A section of poor footpaths located along Rugby Ave
in Milnshaw Ward, Accrington are being improved by Lancashire County Council
Highways Department. The paths have been an issue that both Labour Ward
Councillors, Paul Cox & Clare Pritchard, have pushed to have placed on this
year’s works programme. These works are part of the County Councils taking
action on areas of the ward that have been highlight by the local Borough
Councillors.
Cllr Cox said
“It’s great that the County Council have taken resident’s concerns and
acted on them. So many people have commented on how these foot ways were in a
dangerous condition and have been something I have really pushed to get done.”
Cllr Cox recently held an onsite visit with the
chief of County’s Highways to go over the state of just some of Milnshaw’s
roads and paths. Councillor Cox added, “this area has a very active Labour
team who have listened to our community, this and the resurfacing of
Ribblesdale Avenue are our top priorties”
Local
Accrington North County Councillor Clare Pritchard also commented on this work
“Now I’m at County Hall I can work harder for my Milnshaw residents and
hopefully can really make a big improvement to this area.”
