More than £35m is being invested in Telford and Wrekin between 2022 and 2024 to keep neighbourhoods safe, clean and well connected as part of the ‘Pride in Our Community’ investment programme. 

The programme will deliver improvements to infrastructure including roads, footpaths, parking, sustainable transport, street furniture, drains and structures.

The vision for the highways department is ‘Keep Telford Moving’ and in 2022/2023 £19.67m will be invested as part of the Pride funding, to deliver more than 180 improvement schemes across the borough.

The 12-month programme includes road safety schemes, the creation of more residential parking spaces in local neighbourhoods, road and footpath improvements, drainage works as well as work on highways structures such as bridges.

What is the scheme about?

As part of the council’s ongoing investment into its roads and footpaths, we will shortly be carrying out major improvement works to the footways in and around Hollinswood.

Detailed surveys have identified a variety of work that needs to be undertaken, some examples include resetting/replacing kerbs and resetting of ironwork, clearing of fly tipping and the upgrade of street name plates where needed. 

Areas identified:

  • there is a total of 17 estates around Dale Acre Way identified (see image) and listed below which are being upgraded.
