Plaid Cymru councilllor Annette Davies has said she is delighted to hear that Wrexham Council is to resurface large parts of the Summerhill Road in Gwersyllt and Summerhill.
The announcement of works commencing later this month comes after Cllr Davies launched a petition calling for the resurfacing of the road. Numerous patching had made the road surface dangerous for road users and many signed saying they now avoided the road because it was so uneven.
Cllr Davies, who represents the Gwersyllt West ward, said: "I've been calling for this work to be done for more than two years and, as recently as last month, Gwersyllt Community Council was told that there was no funding for a proper resurfacing job.
"That's why I launched the petition - to show the council how frustrated local residents and people accessing Pendine Park had become. The response - more than 1100 in just over a week - was astounding. So many people talked of near misses, damage to cars, danger to cyclists and motorcyclists that it was clear something had to be done.
"The news today is a huge relief for us all. I'm delighted there's been a change of heart.
"It is, however, very frustrating that we have to resort to this when its blindingly obvious that the road is dangerous. I hope the work, which is due to start on one stretch later this month, will make the road safe and usable again."
Work is due to start on 19th August on the Summerhill Road at Little Mountain and then for a week from 6th September by the Lex Football Club.
