Winter maintenance – our gritters will be out as and when needed. Here’s the Met Office 5 day forecast for Telford.

Potholes - crews are filling potholes that have been reported to us. Please report any you spot here or via the Everyday Telford app.

Street lighting – crews are upgrading street lights in Wellington and Newport. They will also be revisiting a number of other locations upgrading lights where access had been an issue on their initial visit. As the teams upgrade the street lights in each area, they inspect each column and light first. In some cases, the column needs replacing and so it will be at this point that the new LEDs are installed. Some are in need of further inspection, and so these too are being done later. The LED programme will be completed by April. If you have a question about street lighting, please email streetlighting@telford.gov.uk.

Drainage works – work to improve the drainage in School Road, Donnington are likely to be completed this week. Drainage investigation works will also be on-going all week on Leegomery roundabout.
