Planned winter highways works

August 20, 2019 by Leigh-on-sea.com

Up to 22 roads across the borough are planned for repairs and resurfacing throughout a three month winter period as the council continues with its planned highways works programme.

A full list of roads set for repairs throughout October, November and December 2019 has been released as the council’s highways contractor, Marlborough, will be repairing and relaying full roads and stretches of roads that require immediate attention. 

Works for the following roads are planned throughout October, November and December: 

Cllr Ron Woodley, cabinet member for transport, capital and inward investment, said: “Improving our highways is a real focus for the administration and something that I am very passionate about improving across the borough.

“Whilst major junction improvements are vital to improving access into the town, resurfacing and patching works are equally important to residents who are using these roads each and every day.

“We will attempt to minimise disruption when the works take place, but I’m sure local residents and drivers will welcome this investment into local roads.”

All road closures will be clearly signposted two weeks prior to the works taking place and all works are dependent on the weather, as crews are not able to lay roads in inclement weather.

How to report a defect 

If you are aware of any road defects or roads that need resurfacing or patch work, please report these online via MySouthend.

How we prioritise repair and resurfacing works

Using a technical approach, we use various internal digital surveys to analyse our data on the present condition of the road and also investigate each site visually. From this information we are able to prioritise which roads need to be repaired first.
