During the 2026/2027 financial year, we will invest a total of £2.6 million to repair pavements across the county, covering a total of 74,000 square, equivalent to 10 professional football pitches.
We use money from our annual highways grant provided by the government and the East Midlands Combined County Authority.
We use 2 different techniques to repair pavements: slurry sealing and resurfacing.
Pavement slurry sealing
During 2026/2027, we will spend £400,000 on slurry sealing at 18 sites across the county, covering a total of 32,000 square metres.
Slurry sealing is a preventative maintenance repair, to help seal the cracks in the surface of the pavement against rainwater, preventing freezing and damage to the surface during cold, wet winter weather.
By sealing the surface of the pavement, it prevents the condition of the surface from deteriorating.
The liquid mix is applied cold, making it ideal to lay in cooler weather conditions as low as 5°C. The weather needs to be dry, which can lead to last minute changes to the programme as we may have to postpone some repairs if it's raining.
The mix can be laid in as little as 20 minutes, helping to minimise inconvenience for local residents and road users.
The material is laid over the existing surface and includes stones of varying sizes and cement, mixed into liquid bitumen. The process is able to fill damage to create a smooth new surface for pedestrians. The new surface will gradually settle, changing in appearance over the first few weeks.
We select the most appropriate pavements for the treatment following a thorough assessment by our team of inspectors.
As slurry sealing is a liquid mix, it needs time to dry before it hardens and can be walked on.
Please do not walk on any pavements treated with slurry sealing for up to 3 hours to prevent any of the product from sticking to footwear.
Slurry sealing pavement repairs programme 2026 to 2027
This is our slurry sealing programme for the financial year 2026 to 2027.
The work will be carried out in April / May 2026 with dates to follow.
The locations include details about the electoral division of the local county councillor.
The weather has a significant bearing on this work. This will mean the schedule published here is likely to change at very short notice. Please use this information as a guide only.
Residents affected by the works will receive updates on our temporary information boards.
We apologise for any delays or last-minute changes due to circumstances beyond our control.
The work will be done by Colas on our behalf and under our supervision.

Pavement resurfacing
During 2026 to 2027, we will spend £2.1 million on pavement resurfacing at 22 sites across the county, covering a total of 42,000 square metres.
Resurfacing is an extensive repair process and involves removing the existing surface of the pavement and replacing it with new materials to give a smooth surface and long-lasting finish.
We resurface a pavement when it has reached the end of its lifespan and is beyond repair.
We use money from our annual highways grant provided by the government and the East Midlands Combined County Authority.
