The council's update was published on Friday 2 October 2026. It said the summer's resurfacing covered key residential streets and busy routes, chosen from condition surveys and inspections and in line with the Local Transport Plan.
Which roads were done?
The council named four of the roads:
- Station Road
- Colebrook Road
- Eastcott Road
- Bath Road
It did not list the others or give dates for each job. Councillor Nick Gardiner, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said the works were spread across the summer to limit the effect on people's journeys, with overnight working where necessary. He said: "I'm really pleased to see these improvements which have been completed over the summer."
What is next?
- Commercial Road and Crombey Street were expected to be resurfaced early in 2027.
- Footpath reconstruction was planned or under way at Dorcan Way and Manchester Road.
Potholes
The council said more than 10,000 reactive pothole repairs had been carried out across the borough so far in 2026. The annual resurfacing programme for major and minor roads was due to spend more than £2m in that financial year.
