The Council’s Traffic Management Advisory Panel (TMAP) meets tonight to approve the highway maintenance programme for the coming year 2012-13. Tilehurst residents will be pleased to know that it includes resurfacing Westwood Glen and also a section of Norcot Road that leads uphill into the junction with Pottery Road.

If money holds out then the council will also resurface Meadway bewteen New Lane Hill and St Michaels Road as well as the bit of Tilehurst Road by Honey End Lane that was strangely missed out last year.

The council also proposes to carry out minor repairs to Armour Road (something that we pointed out needed doing some time ago).

The footpaths along Beverley Road leading up from Westwood Road will also be resurfaced.

This is all part of a £2m annual plan to maintain Reading’s roads, a sum that really only allows the council to tackle the worst stretches of roads and footpaths.
