A £4.2m programme of road and footway resurfacing works is being rolled out across the London Borough of Redbridge over this year and next, helping create safer roads and smoother journeys for local people.

More than 50 areas across the borough will benefit from the council funded road resurfacing programme, which started earlier this month with works taking place on Atherton Road in Fullwell, and Beattyville Gardens
in Barkingside.

The resurfacing works for 2025/26 are part of a wider ten-year forward plan pledging significant continued investment into the borough’s roads. Last year under the promise the council resurfaced over 51,700 square
meters of roadway, which is the equivalent of 198 tennis courts.

The rollout of the £4.2m road resurfacing works was also part of large-scale investment plans, set out by Redbridge Council’s Highway’s Team in their Capital Works Programme report for 2025/26, which was
officially given the green light at a recent Cabinet Meeting.

The report for Cabinet showcases a series of highways projects – supported through council and external funding – aimed at tackling priorities important to local people, including road safety, public safety, reducing the risk of local flooding, and boosting access to greener and more sustainable travel choices in Redbridge.

Cabinet Member for Environment and Sustainability, Cllr Jo Blackman said:

“We know that good quality roads and pavements are important to local people, and potholes are a regular source of frustration. This capital investment is therefore very welcome and builds on a strong track record of delivering initiatives, including road resurfacing schemes, which make Redbridge a safer, cleaner, and greener place to live. These works are crucial to maintaining and developing our borough to meet a wide range of local needs.”
