In the coming weeks, a number of roads in Wolverhampton are to be resurfaced

A list of roads set to be resurfaced as part of work to crackdown on the number of potholes across Wolverhampton has been released by the council.

It is part of the local authority's £10m Highway Capital Programme for 2026-27. So far this year, more than 7,000 potholes have been fixed, the council said.

"We can't resurface every road in the city at once but by continually targeting investment where it can have the greatest impact, we can steadily raise the standard of our roads," said councillor Bhupinder Gakhal.

Work on major routes such as Chapel Ash island, Ring Road St George's and Stafford Road near Three Tuns Lane island has already taken place.

From 2 November

One-day surface treatment work is set for the following until 6 November:

  • Wilkinson Avenue
  • Rose Street
  • Brierley Lane

From 5 November

One-day surface treatment work will take place between 5 and 10 November:

  • Pond Lane
  • Chequerfield Drive
  • Chester Avenue
