Wolverhampton road delays warning as £700,000 improvements start
Motorists are expected to face delays as more than £700,000 of road improvements were due to start in Wolverhampton today.
The council is carrying out the works to resurface five roads before they fall into disrepair.
The city's environment boss, Councillor Steve Evans, said: "I apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause residents and businesses but carrying out these works now will make good these roads for many years to come and should prevent larger scale works in the future, which would have resulted in a much larger bill."
