Redbridge Council has allocated £4.2 million for extensive road and pavement works, aiming to cover 50 streets in the coming year. This initiative is part of a larger 10-year strategy to diminish flooding risks due to climate change, focusing on enhancing infrastructure in flood-prone areas. Additionally, the council's programme includes £1.8 million for further pedestrian safety measures. These actions support previous flood alleviation efforts, helping manage rainwater effectively, safeguarding homes and improving community resilience in changing weather conditions.
It has begun with 4.2 million earmarked for road and pavement work, now underway covering up to 50 streets over the next 12 months.
The resurfacing is part of a 10-year plan by Redbridge Council to help reduce risk of flooding to properties when the sewers get overwhelmed during heavy rain.
Potholes are a regular source of frustration, Redbridge Council cabinet member Jo Blackman said. Good roads and pavements are important to people.
The risk of flash floods occurs more frequently with climate change, the council points out.
