Resurfacing the roads would extend their lifespan and prevent potholes, the council said

Dozens of roads across Wolverhampton are due to be resurfaced or repaired in the coming year as part of the council's plan to tackle potholes.

The City of Wolverhampton Council approved spending £9.7m in 2025-26 tackling potholes and other issues.

Six roads will be resurfaced, under the proposals, while another 20 will be treated, in a bid to prevent potholes forming on them.

The routes were picked after inspections across the city's road network, councillor Qaiser Azeem said.

"While we carry out thousands of repairs to potholes every year, and will continue to do so, prevention work is key in the long term," he added.

The roads to be resurfaced include:

  • Cannock Road from Stafford Street to Springfield Road
  • Wood End Road - Roundabout to Amos Lane
  • A4039 Millfields Road
  • Whitgreave Avenue - roundabout at Leacroft Avenue
  • Ruskin Avenue - entire length
  • Hall Lane from Hurst Road to Robert Wynd

A full list of other roads to be repaired can be found on the council's website.
