The Royal Borough of Greenwich has more than doubled its budget to resurface roads and pavements for 2026 As part of the £60 million investment drive Getting Things Done, the council has increased its annual highway maintenance budget to £3.65 million, reports Southwark News.

The highway resurfacing programme will complement the current pavement renewal work, with new footways and lighting being established on Winn Common Road.

Twenty-six roads in the borough will be fully or partly resurfaced in July, and three more could be confirmed

Twenty-six roads in the borough have been chosen via a data-led approach to be fully or partly resurfaced in July, and three more could be confirmed.

Councillor Calum O’Byrne Mulligan, Cabinet Member for Transport, Climate Change, Waste and Streets, said:

“We’re investing a record amount in our roads and pavements to keep Greenwich moving, more than doubling funding to get things done over the next four years.

“Supported by a new road condition standard, this coming year will see full road resurfacing in every part of the borough.

“We know closures for works can be frustrating but these essential improvements, once completed, will deliver clear benefits for all: safer, smoother, better roads which make it easier for everyone to get around.”
