The council’s plan outlines how the borough’s transport assets, including roads, pavements, bridges, drains, signs, and lampposts, will be improved over the next year.
The plan covers 726 kilometres of carriageways, 1,235 kilometres of footways, and 62 highway-maintained structures and bridges.
The works programme is based on data from highway inspections, as well as feedback from residents, businesses, residents’ associations, and councillors.
Projects are ranked according to Department for Transport guidance, with priority given to the most urgent needs.
The council also prioritises issues reported by residents through the Love Clean Streets initiative.
The plan includes long-term solutions to ensure better value for money for residents.
Flood prevention measures are also part of the budget, with investment in additional inspections, cleaning, and technology to monitor gullies and drains in flood-prone areas.
The highway maintenance programme is funded by the council’s capital fund, Transport for London, and the Department for Transport.
Jason Perry, executive mayor of Croydon, said: “Croydon’s highway network is one of the council’s most valuable assets.
“It’s essential that we use the funding available to maintain it in the best way we can, improving roads and pavements that need it most and getting value for money for our residents.
“We have listened to residents and have used their feedback to help us identify the areas that need improving.”
The full plan and list of maintenance projects are available on the council’s website.
