Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "We are delighted that these improvements works are going ahead.
“At a cost of almost £400,000 we are able to make good a series of roads in such a way that will immediately benefit travel around these parts of the city.”

Cllr Davies added: "Making these roads better is going to be a dramatic improvement for these areas of the city.
“We will get these works completed as quickly as possible, but there will be some unavoidable disruption whilst our crew go about the programme.
“I would like to thank everyone effected for their patience and understanding during the duration of these works.”
