Two road resurfacing schemes completed in area of Motherwell
Findlay Street and Adele Street have been permanently repaired.
Two road resurfacing schemes have recently been completed in the North Lodge area of Motherwell.
In the final week of May, work was carried out to resurface the entirety of the carriageway at Findlay Street.
Findlay Street is accessed from the top of Manse Road.
During the first week of June, a programme of permanent repairs was then completed at Adele Street.
The Adele Street resurfacing covered a section of the carriageway from just ahead of where the road meets Catherine Street to beyond it's junctions with George Street.
Adele Street has now benefited from resurfacing work for two successive financial years in a row.
Last April, there was resurfacing on a part of the road from just before Adele Street's junction with Leven Street to the section of the carriageway that covers the first half of the residential housing at neighbouring Broomside Crescent.
Motherwell South East and Ravenscraig councillor Nathan Wilson said: 'I am thrilled at the successful completion of the planned resurfacing programmes for Findlay Street and Adele Street.
'Permanent repair work was badly needed on both carriageways and to improve the condition of the surfaces.
'I have been persistent in highlighting to the local authority that large parts of the road and pavement network in North Lodge is not fit for purpose and the area needed to feature more regularly in the annual resurfacing programmes.
'Adele Street is one carriageway I have continually raised as a road that should be considered as a high priority for repairs.
'It is fantastic news that in just over two years, there has been multiple resurfacing jobs at Adele Street and Manse Road alongside permanent repair work on Catherine Street, Leven Street and Findlay Street.
'The roads and pavements in North Lodge where resurfacing has taken place in recent years are now in a much healthier state.'

Drivers warned over 3 documents they must have in glovebox or face £640 fine
Motorists must also have three crucial items in their car when driving abroad Drivers planning to head overseas this summer in their cars are being warned about three pieces of paperwork they must have in the car or face a heavy penalty. And they must also be prepared with three crucial items on board too. Anyone planning to cross the channel and drive in Europe should be aware of potentially heavy fines if they're caught unprepared as the rules are very different to driving in the UK. One thing all drivers need to have in their car is a warning triangle in case of a break down. They should also carry a high visibility jacket and a first aid kit with them at all times. Also, on the list is a magnetic UK sticker. Brits need to display a UK sticker clearly on their vehicle if the number plate has: A GB identifier with the Union Flag A Euro symbol A national flag of England, Scotland or Wales Numbers and letters only – no flag or identifier Experts at BigWantsYourCar said: 'In Europe, if Brits drive without the correct sticker, they will be given a €140 or £120 fine while on the continent.' But it's not just equipment motorists should ensure they have, they are also required to have three essential documents in the glovebox at all times. The expert said: "Every driver should double-check their paperwork before heading overseas. A valid driving licence, car insurance details, and vehicle registration documents are needed at all times. "Missing any of these could significantly disrupt your plans and result in fines up to €750 (£640). It's better to be over-prepared than to face any delays." Some motorists might require an International Driving Permit to drive in certain countries too. The expert explained: "As of April 1, 2024, the DVLA requires that anyone seeking an International Driving Permit must visit a participating PayPoint location, equipped with their full valid photo-card licence, a standard passport photograph, and possibly a valid passport if they have an older paper version licence. "This new procedure is a departure from the past and underscores the need for drivers to be thoroughly prepared before heading to their PayPoint location." 'Not every country requires an International Driving Permit, but for over 140 countries that do, including key destinations like Turkey, Mexico, Canada, and Australia, being prepared with the correct type of IDP is crucial for lawful and hassle-free driving." When driving in a foreign country sat navs are going to be helpful for helping holidaymakers get from A to B. But there are some places where they are illegal, drivers have been warned. BigWantsYourCar said: "While using sat navs, drivers must be aware of restrictions. In countries like France and Cyprus, sat navs are prohibited and can lead to fines as high as €1,500 as they make drivers aware of speed cameras. "It may be worth looking into whether you can turn the speed camera detection feature off.' Other tips for driving abroad include adjusting your headlights and understanding speed limits at your destination. The expert added: "UK vehicles are designed for left-hand traffic, so when driving in countries where you must drive on the right, adjusting your headlights is crucial to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. 'Headlamp converters, which adjust your headlights for driving on the right side of the road, are readily available and can be easily installed. It's important to remove these converters once you return to the UK. "If you're caught driving in France without these adjustments, you could face an immediate €90 fine.' Speed limits can differ significantly across European countries and are strictly enforced. Understanding and adhering to these limits is vital. The penalties for speeding can be severe, so it's important to research and respect the speed regulations of each country you visit. Speed limits for some European countries on motorways France: 130 km/h (110 km/h in rain) Germany: No official limit, but a recommended speed of 130 km/h Portugal: 120 km/h Spain: 120 km/h

Buy Hyundai Inster Price, PPC or HP
The others come in Long Range flavour only. Want the 02? That'll be £26,755 please. If you choose the slightly more oddball Inster Cross, that's £28,755. There are three trims: 01, 02 and Cross. The 01 comes with two powertrain options, the 97bhp/42kWh setup at £23,505 or the 115bhp/49kWh Long Range one at £25,055. If you go for Hyundai's PCP finance package, then as a guide the 01 Long Range will set you back £324 a month over three years/30,000 miles with a deposit of £2,400. What are the trims like? You get a reasonable amount of kit with the entry level 01 model – 15in alloy wheels, aircon, auto headlights and wipers, heated folding door mirrors, fancy adaptive cruise control, heat pump, rear parking sensors and rear camera, keyless go, satnav and Apple/Android connectivity. If you upgrade to 02 you get 17in alloys, sliding rear seats, LED lights front and rear, roof rails, heated front seats and steering wheel, ambient lighting, front parking sensors, more speakers and the option of a tech pack that includes a mains power socket and a smart key feature for your phone. Listed like that, the extra price of 02 seems worthwhile. The Cross version doesn't offer you much more than plastic cladding and bumpers that were dreamed up by the marketing department, along with an optional basket that sits on the roof rack for all your 'lifestyle' needs.

Hyundai Inster Interior Layout & Technology
Interior What is it like on the inside? The Inster's cabin is fun and distinctive, with some neat little touches. We like that Hyundai has made extensive use of recycled materials in here. Like the 100 per cent recycled PET seat coverings with a houndstooth-adjacent 'Pepita' pattern that offers a touch of sophistication. Though don't stare at the seats too long because they'll make your eyes go funny. Phew, look at those screens. Yes, plonked neatly on top of the dashboard are twin 10.25in screens that form a digital dashboard and infotainment display. The dash offers up a useful configurable layout with an array of faithfully digital recreations of dials. We quite liked the more left field pulsing cubes that make good use of the tech. Advertisement - Page continues below The screens and graphics are lifted pretty much wholesale from loads of Hyundais – not the very latest system, but even this last-gen setup is as good as other makers' most current efforts. Though it can feel slow at times, like when you're trying to turn the irritating ADAS alarms off before every journey. Come on Hyundai, we've got places to be. Below the central screen are volume and zoom knobs, and between them a row of actual buttons, shortcutting to media, setup, nav, and a configurable favourite. Where's the Hyundai logo? This is one of the peculiar things about modern Hyundais – you'd never be able to tell you were in one from behind the wheel. The Korean carmaker has wiped its interiors clean of its distinctive logo. Fun fact though for you, those squares on the steering wheel are meant to spell out the letter H in Morse code. Advertisement - Page continues below Looks like there's plenty of storage in there. There's a decent array of cubbies, although the dashboard has to work hard to make up for the lack of centre console. The front seats act like a bench, and as there's no centre console you can easily get to the driver's side from either door. Whether the absence of a proper centre storage bin makes the slide-across facility worthwhile is another question. Having lived with a BMW i3, we'd say not. All the storage you're left with is a bit of small-object space below the climate controls, and a trough above the glovebox – but that doesn't have a rubber mat so your nicknacks will rattle and slither about. USB sockets live there (that's where you plug your phone in – and then back in after it flies off the dash when you take a corner over-enthusiastically), and in the upper spec there are more in the rear. Plus a mains voltage socket. What about the back? The Inster's narrowness means just two seats and two seatbelts. But that's not all. While there's a normal bench for the base 01 spec, the 02 has a pair of sliding/reclining ones. Slide them back and legroom becomes pretty palatial. It's a clever urban taxi, like the Mk1 Renault Twingo. Of course, set up that way the boot is correspondingly tiny, albeit it has an underfloor cubby. You've got 280 litres of space in the boot with the seats in their normal position, which can be increased to 351 litres in the 02 and Cross versions (if your rear passengers have little legs and you slide the back seats forward as far as they'll go). With all the seats down you've got 1,059 litres of space to make use of. Usefully the front passenger seat folds forward if you've got something bulky to shift.
