The pilot will run until February 2020. It will remain under review to improve it as it progresses with a view to a fuller rollout next year.
Chris Stevenson, Chairman of West Bergholt Parish Council, said:
West Bergholt Parish Council is delighted to be a member of the Highways Devolution Pilot and given the opportunity for local people to set the priorities for highway related small works.

We look forward to increasing the number of projects to be undertaken and further strengthening the collaborative relationship between ECC, the EALC and Parish Councils, working together to improve village and community wellbeing.”
