The councils are hoping to appoint a single contractor for both areas with work evenly split over the six year deal between the two authorities.

But two different firms could be appointed “should this prove to be the most economically advantageous option”.

Work will include reactive maintenance, signage, response repairs to highways, road marking, bridges, retaining walls and similar structures, street furniture, drainage, winter maintenance and lighting.

Interested firms have until June 12 to contact the council.
