Resurfacing programme 2026
From September 2026, we will be starting our resurfacing programme across the borough.
The process involves removing the worn surface, repairing any defects and laying new asphalt to create a smooth, long-lasting finish, and reinstating the road markings. Resurfacing helps extend the life of the road, improves skid resistance, and reduces the need for future maintenance.
Changes to dates
The dates for these works may change and we may not be able to give you an exact date. This means works may be delayed or moved at short notice.
Signs will be placed on site to tell you:
- when the road will be closed
- the dates and times of the works
- how long the works are expected to last
