Here are all the York roads set to be repaired this year


The York roads and footpaths set for works as part of the council’s £16.5m repairs and maintenance programme have been revealed.

City of York Council’s highway maintenance programme for 2026/7 includes £10.7 million for road works, £1 million for drainage, £550,000 for York’s walls, £578,000 to replace street lights and £1.072 million for bridge maintenance.

Cllr Kate Ravilious, the authority’s Labour transport spokesperson, said roads and footpaths required significant investment and the £16.5 million pledged was 50 per cent more than last year’s maintenance funding.

It comes as a council report said the total cost of clearing York’s backlog of outstanding works and restoring all roads back to perfect condition would be £102 million.

The council is responsible for around 800km of roads, 1,000km of footways and 250km of walkways and cycleways, along with thousands of gullies, street lights and other infrastructure and assets.

The Government has rated York amber for roads maintenance, which council officials said was in line with the vast majority of authorities across the country.

Carriageway patching

Carriageway patching refers to works to repair defects like cracks and potholes which are too large for basic maintenance but too small for full resurfacing.

Carriageway renewal

Carriageway renewal works are proactive efforts to repair, replace and strengthen road surfaces and their underlying layers to extend their lifespan and improve safety.

Carriageway retexture

Carriageway retexturing restores road surfaces that have become polished or slippery over time to improve skid resistance and safety.

Surface dressing

Surface dressing involves the spraying of a bitumen binder on top of a road surface , coating it with stone chippings and rolling it to create a new waterproof layer.

It is designed to prevent water damage and it can extend the lifespan of a road by up to 15 years.

Footway schemes

Lighting, walls and more

A total of £578,000 has been set aside for the replacement of unsound street lighting columns in A19 Shipton Road from Rawcliffe Lane to A1237 and in Huntington, New Earswick, Guildhall, Rawcliffe and Clifton.

Inspections, repairs and maintenance works on York’s city walls are set to be funded with £550,000 in 2026/7.

Drainage schemes worth a total of £1m include £250,000 proactive repairs and investigations, £250,000 set aside for repairs in various locations and £125,000 earmarked for sinkhole repairs.

A total of £375,000 has also been provided for pre-carriageway drainage works.

The council’s £2.2 million reactive maintenance programme includes £1.54 million for permanent pothole repairs at various locations and £400,000 for targetted works.

It also includes £60,000 for a proactive lining programme and £200,000 for reactive maintenance on active travel routes.

Of the schemes set for works in 2025/6, those in Museum Street remain ongoing.

Works in Jockey Lane and Abelton Grove have been deferred to this financial year.
