Highways major works programme

Every year I submit sites for independent inspection for replacement footway paving and resurfacing of road ways.  Some sites, such as Bertie Road, have been submitted every year as needing footway upgrades.  Even with funds of over £2m this year, it will take a number of years to catch up with repair needs as our budget for this is so limited.  This year only three Willesden Green road ways on the resurfacing list: Beaconsfield Road, part of Chapter Road (from 244 to Park Avenue) and St Andrews Road.  TfL will be funding principle road resurfacing: High Road (Dudden Hill Lane to Huddlestone) and Walm Lane (Station Parade to High Road).  No upgrades to Willesden pavements which is a real disappointment.
