Swindon road improvements continue

More than 20 roads across the Borough of Swindon will have been improved by the end of September.

The majority of the Swindon Borough Council works have already been completed and the results can be seen in a number of locations including Croft Road, Bath Road, Eastcott Road and Rowan Road.
A council spokesperson said: "These roads were prioritised for a variety of reasons, whether that is because they’re key routes on Swindon’s road network, high-traffic areas or locations that were in the most need of repair.
"Limited resources mean that in 2026/27 we will spend almost £6m on highways and pathways.
"This includes spending £2.9m on planned maintenance and surface dressing for major and minor roads, as well as funding for routine road maintenance, such as £200,000 on reactive pothole repairs. "This maintenance also includes patching repairs, road markings and traffic light maintenance."
