Work on our Council's district-wide road resealing programme is underway.

Our contractor will distribute letters to all affected households before urban streets are resurfaced. These letters will provide all the additional information required including the planned date of surfacing. In addition to letter drops, updates of the work programme will be provided on this web page and on our social media. Daily updates on sites scheduled each day will also be broadcast on local radio stations.
Please park your vehicles off the road on the day of the works to allow the full width of the road to be surfaced. Any vehicles parked on the road following notification may be towed to a nearby towing yard at the owner’s expense.
While the work is being done, traffic will be controlled by traffic controllers and temporary traffic management. We'll try to minimise any inconvenience to motorists. However, we ask motorists to be patient and follow the directions of traffic controllers and temporary speed restriction signs.
Once surfacing is completed, there will be speed restrictions in place and loose chip on the road surface in the early stages after the work. Where necessary, sites will be re-swept at later dates.
