Havoc wrought by storms Bert and Darragh left \u00a3500,000 damage to roads in in one county alone.<\/p>\n
Monmouthshire council’s environment member, Catrin Maby, revealed the figure at an authority meeting this month while discussing road repairs. <\/p>\n
She said officers were anxious to give her an up-to-date list of required maintenance.<\/p>\n
Ms Maby said: “We do have probably half-a-million pounds worth of damage to our roads from the recent storms.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Heavy rain, especially during Storm Bert in November, caused flooding with northern parts of Monmouthshire hit.<\/p>\n
Flash floods affected the Wye Valley, including at Tintern and Chepstow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Usk’s Conservative councillor, Tony Kear, had asked for an update on repairs and maintenance.<\/p>\n
“It is a constant question I face,” he said.<\/p>\n
Ms Maby said a date was needed for when repairs could take place at the Chainbridge, near Kemeys Commander, and that work at Little Mill had been delayed until 2025.<\/p>\n
She said the road works schedule for 2024-25 was on target but there were “difficult decisions” to face next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
