A MULTI-MILLION pound contract to maintain Wiltshire highways and street scene has been awarded at the same time as an additional £3.6m of government funding for road maintenance in the county has been announced.
Currently the services are covered by four different organisations, including an in-house team, but under the new contract the works will be carried out by one contractor.
The value of the contract over five years will be around £150m.
