Councillor Finlay Gordon-McCusker said: “There are a number of really good schemes here to make the network more efficient and safer. Things like repairing bridges and making sure they’re maintained properly.
“This includes the bridge that connects Dividy Road to Eaton Park, without which people wouldn’t be able to get in or out of Eaton Park. So it’s really important that all this work goes ahead.”
