Waltham Forest Council will spend £3.2million this financial year resurfacing roads
Waltham Forest Council has published its updated list of roads due to be resurfaced throughout the remainder of 2026.
A total of 30 were identified for resurfacing and work has been completed on 16 so far. Resurfacing the roads will cost the council £3.2million, while repairs to paths will cost £435,300 this financial year.
The list was unveiled at a full council meeting held on Thursday night (July 16), the second under the new Green administration.
The bulk of the remaining work is in the Larkswood and Highams Hill wards, which are each due for two further resurfacings.
During Thursday night’s meeting, top councillors indicated the works – many of which began in May – were progressing well. The list, however, does not include estimated finish dates.
The most expensive resurfacing will be the £227,600 project to replace the carriageway in Kings Head Hill and The Ridgeway, in Endlebury and Chingford Green, covering a total of 6,000 square metres.
It is followed by the resurfacing of 3,000sqm of Bridge End, in Chapel End, which will cost £220,200.
The costliest pavement work will be in Dale View End, also in Endlebury, at £92,400. It began in June and is ongoing. The essential works, when combined, will set the council back £3.63m.
