HS2 funding reallocation for Croydon road improvements
Funding reallocated from the HS2 North project has been provided to improve local roads in the borough.
In October 2023 the Department for Transport (DfT) announced £8.3 billion in additional funding to support the biggest ever road resurfacing programme across England. The programme reallocates funds funds from the HS2 project.
The funding is for road resurfacing and maintenance works on local highway networks across the UK. Croydon will receive £11.951 million over the next 10 years.
We have been given a total of £764,000 for the financial years 2023/24 and 2024/25 to improve local roads in the borough. With a 762km long road network we have received one of the largest allocations of any London highway authority.
We have used an advanced survey system to assess and identify streets across the borough that will most benefit from improvements. We have also considered locations that have received the most complaints from residents.
The funding will be used to resurface the following roads, as they are key transport corridors:
- Addington Road (A2022)
- Addiscombe Grove (A222)
- Addiscombe Road (A222)
- Beulah Hill (A215)
- Brighton Road (A235)
- Central Hill (A214)
- Church Road (A212)
- Cherry Orchard Road (A222)
- Coombe Lane (A212)
