Locations for surface treatments will be shared when the Council’s 2027/28 Highways Capital Programme is finalised in the new year.

Full details of work may be adjusted due to site conditions and cost estimates and in rare cases, could be postponed or deferred, for example if emergency utility works are required.

Cllr Stephen Adshead, Trafford Council’s Executive Member for Highways and Environmental Services, said:

“We are pleased to have been awarded this money for additional road repairs and improvements and are spending it carefully.

“Our hardworking teams are now working to design, plan and deliver resurfacing in the 23 locations and this is good news for anyone who travels around Trafford. Following on from this we will see a comprehensive programme of further surface treatments and patching that will keep our highways in good condition for all users.”

Cllr Tom Ross, Leader of Trafford Council, added:

“We are delighted to be able to share full details of this work that ties in with our Council priorities, including to foster a thriving economy. Being able to get easily and sustainably from home to work, to education, healthcare, leisure and all manner of other destinations on our road networks is key to quality of life for all who live, work and visit Trafford.”
