MORE money is to be given to area committees to spend on improving roads.

Last night Redbridge cabinet agreed the additional money will come from any new parking permit schemes introduced in an area.

This money can then be spent on road improvements such as pedestrian crossings, traffic lights and road signs.

For example the parking permit scheme in Wanstead in Addison, Chaucer, Dangan and Spratt Hall Roads is expected to bring in around £10,000 in the first year.
