When the road surface was last repaired or re-surfaced.
Patching works were completed during the 2014/15 financial year, and further surface dressing was carried out during the 2015/16 financial year.
Why tarmac rather than more resistant concrete or similar was chosen as road surface given history of large vehicles to local Biogas Plants causing regular road damage.
No information is held on any historic decision to originally choose the type of road construction. The patching and surface dressing works in recent years were undertaken to maintain the existing road surface.
