Road resurfacing

Work starts: Wednesday 7 January 2026

Work finishes: Friday 23 January 2026

What is happening?

We are resurfacing Abergele Road from its junction with Church Walks (by St Catherine’s church) to past its junction with Princess Road.

Our contractor will be working from 7am to 2am. The noisiest work will be completed earlier in the evening to minimise disruption.We will need to close sections of the road at times to complete this work.  Convoy working will be in place.

Will it affect parking?

Yes - there will be no parking on affected sections while we do this work.

We will maintain pedestrian access at all times.

What is resurfacing?

Step 1 - remove the existing surface (this is called planing)

Step 2 – adjust or replace the ironwork, manholes & drainage gullies

Step 3 - clean the surface with a mechanical sweeper

Step 4 - lay a bond coating, to make sure the new surface sticks

Step 5 - lay the new surface

Step 6 - compact and level the new surface with rollers

Step 7 - repaint the road markings

Resurfacing is a noisy and dusty process, and we are sorry for the inconvenience this might cause.  The new road surface will provide a smoother, quieter ride and will be a long lasting benefit to the community.
