In September 2024, our Highways Maintenance Team worked with Miles Macadam to resurface Skomer Road in Barry with net-zero road material. This is part of a trial to introduce long-term, sustainable highway maintenance programmes into the Vale of Glamorgan. The road was resurfaced using with Biopave™, a unique surfacing system designed to capture carbon within the road surface and prevent its release into the atmosphere. Biopave™ has provided the Council and local residents with a durable, sustainable surface which will significantly reduce the environmental impact of road construction and maintenance. The project also used Welsh steel slag aggregate, which greatly lowered the carbon footprint by eliminating the need to mine new materials.
