More than 80,000 metres of lines repainted
More than 80,000 metres of lines have been repainted on borough roads in the last 12 months as part of a rolling programme.
Dudley Council spends approximately £140,000 every year on repainting lines, including double yellows to help reduce congestion and keep the borough’s roads moving.
It also includes repainting zebra and pedestrian crossings and zig zag lines outside schools to improve pedestrian safety.
This year, the council is also spending an extra £20,000 on refreshing lines in town centres. Work is almost complete in Halesowen.
Councillor Damian Corfield, cabinet member for highways and environmental services, said:
This ongoing rolling programme to repaint lines is an essential part of the work we do to maintain the borough’s roads.
They help keep our roads moving, help reduce congestion and keep people safe.
