FOUR roads in Castle Bromwich that were badly damaged by flooding are set to be resurfaced.
Solihull Council has been awarded more than £720,000 by the Government to help repair 11 stretches of road around the borough.
The four that will be restored in North Solihull are the A452 Collector Road, Bradford Road, Green Lane and Old Croft Lane.
The grant will be added to the £2.6m that the council had already put aside for road maintenance. The repairs are due to be carried out in the coming months.
Councillor Ted Richards, cabinet member for transport and highways, said that the wettest winter since records began was to blame for the crumbling tarmac.
"The constant rainfall has caused severe damage to our roads creating pot holes and causing older roads to wear away and break up earlier.
"We will carry out the works in the most efficient way possible to cause the least disruption to our residents."
Other roads in Solihull which were badly damaged by floodwater include the Kenilworth Road, in Balsall Common, Hampton Lane and the A45 Coventry Road.
