Barnsley Council's Cabinet meets at 10:00 today to consider plans for an additional £10 million investment in the borough's roads over four years. The proposed investment would support road maintenance, including more permanent pothole repairs, targeted resurfacing and additional frontline repair teams. Cabinet is being asked to support the additional investment, but today's meeting does not amount to every individual road scheme being signed off. Further details would be set out through the council's highways and budget processes.
