Press Release

New money for pothole backlog

Lambeth Council is to spend an extra £500,000 to tackle potholes - and Councillor Andrew Sawdon, executive member for environment, joined a pothole repair gang in Streatham Wells last week to kick off the new drive.

"This is just a start," he said. "There is a tremendous backlog and we know that a great deal more work is needed to get to grips with a long legacy of disrepair. But I hope that residents, businesses and visitors will now begin to see a difference in the state of our roads and pavements."

Councillor Sawdon was joined by Brendan Bradley, manager for the council's contractors T. E. Beach.

In the longer term the council will be looking at additional programmed investment for resurfacing and planned maintenance across the whole of the borough's 322 kilometre road and footway network.

Residents can report pothole and pavement problems on 020 7926 9000 or by emailing streetcarecallcentre@lambeth.gov.uk.
