The Council is planning to resurface a section of Stafford Road on the 25th, 26th and 27th June 2025. The section that the Council is planning to do is between number 186 Stafford Road and the junction with Redford Avenue (and including all of the junction with Plough Lane and Mollison Drive).
This section was flagged by the Council’s Reactive Maintenance teams as being a constant source of defects such as potholes and in need of full resurfacing due to those defects and the constant source of wear that it is exposed to due to the heavy amount of traffic it receives due to being one of the main routes into the borough and Wallington Town Centre.
Unfortunately due to the heavy amount of traffic and the importance of the road, it is not possible to close the road during the day, so for practical and safety reasons, these works are having to be carried out as nightworks.
The shift is planned between 20:00 and 04:00 on both evenings, when the road will be fully closed during the course of the works (to allow the resurfacing to take place). This is not a decision that we take lightly but these works could not be programmed to be done during the day.
With this road closure, buses and traffic will be diverted from the junction with Sandy Lane South to the junction with High View Avenue as per the plan below (with the wider diversion being on the A23 Purley Way, A2022 Foxley Lane and to the A237 Woodcote Road.
Closer to the works, letters will be put out to residents and businesses that will be directly affected by the works with more specific details on them.
Some of the typical details and frequently asked questions we get for resurfacing works are listed on the Council Planned Maintenance pages.
