£1m footpaths scheme underway across county

The summer surfacing scheme is getting underway to make footpaths better to use.

LCC says the technical name for what’s happening is ‘micro asphalt surface treatment’, which is a technique used to seal the existing path surface, improve the level and the texture of the path itself plus seal the existing surface against the ingress of water.

One micro asphalt set of work can prolong the life of a footway by as much as a decade – and it’s cost effective too, with the treatment coming in at around a tenth of what it cost to fully rebuild the path.

The work involves applying a thin veneer of material to the existing path surface, which dries within two hours and is then ready for being used by pedestrians.

Works will continue until the end of October, subject to weather conditions, from 7.30am to 5pm at each site.
