Road Repairs Programme for 2025/26

The Council's Transport and Environment committee has agreed the list of roads and pavements which will be resurfaced or repaired this year.

Local Lib Dem councillor Robert Aldridge said, "Far and away the biggest issue that residents raise with us is the state of Edinburgh's roads. That's why Lib Dem councillors have consistently pushed for more funding to improve the quality of roads across the city.

“Our budget proposals last year saw an extra £12.5 million spent on road repairs last year, and this year we secured the same again."

In the Drum Brae/Gyle ward, the following roads will have work undertaken; Balfron Loan, Bughtlin Park, Clermiston Crescent, Clermiston View, Craigs Road, Duart Crescent, Forrester Park Green, Maybury Drive, Parkgrove Drive, Parkgrove Green and Parkgrove Loan.

Corstorphine Road will also have work done to improve the surface, which is great news as this is one of the streets residents raise with us most often as they travel into town.

Pavements and footways on the following roads will receive work; Barntongate Avenue, Barntongate Court, Blackthorn Court, Clermiston Drive and stretches of Queensferry Road including between Clermiston Road North and Hillpark Steps.

Local Lib Dem councillor Ed Thornley added, "I'd like to particularly welcome work on Parkgrove Drive, which has been a long-running campaign by all ward councillors, and on Clermiston Crescent, which was left unfinished two years ago.

"Thanks to this extra funding over the last few years, we've started to see improvement on the state of the roads in our area. However, we know there are so many more that need work. There are several roads we have been pushing for repairs on which have not been included, like Craigmount Grove North or the pavements on Hayfield, so we will keep up the pressure to get proper repairs done on these roads too."
