Greenwich Council will be spending £3.65m on work to resurface 26 roads across the borough in 2026
Greenwich Council has announced which roads it will be resurfacing in 2026.
The South East London authority will spend £3.65m on work to resurface 26 roads across Greenwich, with another three roads that are awaiting confirmation.
The council has also promised that no planned utility works will be carried out on these roads for a minimum of two years in order to protect “this investment in our local infrastructure”. They have told utility companies to carry out any necessary work in advance of resurfacing to avoid the new roads being dug up.
The roads selected for the resurfacing work have been chosen with the council’s “data-led approach to highway maintenance”, which prioritises roads based on their condition.
Cllr Calum O’Byrne Mulligan, Greenwich Council’s 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 resurfacings 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.”

Greenwich Council is also waiting for confirmation of the full resurfacing of Welland Street, as well as partial resurfacing on Welling Way (from Rochester Way to the borough boundary) and Plum Lane (from Eglinton Hill to Brinklow Crescent and from Genesta Road to Vambery Road).
These roads are subject to improvement works carried out by other council teams and so the authority is yet to fully confirm the resurfacing work in order to avoid any clashes.
The council said it will let residents know when each resurfacing scheme will begin closer to the time via its website, social media and WhatsApp channels, and letters to impacted residents.
