The council has allocated £5.256m of its budget for highways this coming year
People living in Kensington and Chelsea will be seeing a whole host of road repairs and resurfacing across the borough with a full list of planned works now released.
Works will be taking place on several major roads throughout 2026/27, such as Kensington High Street and Gloucester Road.
Planned projects include resurfacing, highway improvements and public realm schemes – such as upgrades to planting, seating and pavements.
The council has allocated £5.256m of its capital spending for highways this coming year. In comparison, £1.494m is allocated for Children’s Social Care and £2.109m on schools.
This sum will form part of the council’s £71.212m general fund capital spending on long-term assets or projects.
Kensington and Chelsea Council will be spending a total of £186.2 million over four years on things like the borough’s highways, environment, open spaces, schools and early years provision, buildings and digital infrastructure.
One of the most significant road closures in Kensington and Chelsea this year has been Albert Bridge. The bridge closed to motor vehicles on February 7, after a crack in a cast iron component was found in the north eastern abutment. The bridge will remain closed to motor traffic for up to 12 months, while repairs are carried out. These could cost up to £8.5m, the council says.
