Pre-patching works for the 2026 to 2027 surface dressing programme

We are starting our pre-patching programme in August 2025 at 111 sites across the county.

The repairs are in readiness for our 2026 to 2027 surface dressing programme. By undertaking the works in the spring, we're able to make the most of warmer, drier weather conditions to carry out the repairs giving a better finish and minimising inconvenience for local road users.

Our pre-patching work includes planing out the road surface around existing potholes and laying a new surface in readiness for the surface dressing to be applied on top.

Where required, on rural roads, we will fix ruts along the edge of the road, known as 'over running' by using materials to build a deeper, stronger foundation to the damaged part of the road.

Feedback

We're asking for feedback from local residents about how we deliver our surface dressing pre-patching programme.

If your street is listed on this page, please look out for a letter which will include details about the surface dressing process and a link or QR code to our online survey.

The survey is open to residents who have had surface dressing carried out on their road.

Complete the survey

We'll use the comments to look at ways to improve the way we do things.

Roads we will pre-patch, including location and electoral division during 2025

Further locations at other sites across the county, will be added once we have finalised the development of next year's surface dressing programme and when traffic permits for the road closures required for the works have been processed. 

The dates and locations listed below may change due to operational issues, weather conditions, issues found on site, and equipment faults.
