We’re continuing to upgrade the roads and pavements in Royal Greenwich after confirming our highway resurfacing programme for 2026.
By investing another £1.6m of ringfenced cash, part of our Getting Things Done drive worth £60m, we’re increasing our annual highway maintenance budget to £3.65m to help make your journeys easier however you get around.
Resurfacing our borough’s roads will supplement the ongoing work on renewing our pavements, such as the new footways and lighting currently being installed on Winn Common Road.
Councillor Calum O’Byrne Mulligan, 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.”
In total, 26 roads all across the borough are currently scheduled to be resurfaced either in-part or fully, while a further three are awaiting confirmation. These roads have been selected for resurfacing in line with our data-led approach to highway maintenance, which prioritises roads based on their condition.
We’re also ensuring that no planned utility works can be carried out on the newly resurfaced roads for a minimum of two years, protecting this investment in our local infrastructure, ensuring utility providers carry out any necessary works in advance of our resurfacing. Planned utility works are embargoed, however exemptions can be applied for emergencies and new customer connections.

There are also some roads which are subject to improvement works carried out by other teams so, to avoid any clashes, we’re also currently 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).
We will let residents know when each resurfacing scheme will begin closer to the time via our website, social media and WhatsApp channels, and a letter to impacted residents.
