On track with carriageway and footway repairs in Havering

  • By Marlborough Highways

In 2019, Havering Council launched a £40 million highways investment programme to make it easier and smoother for residents to get around the borough. Marlborough have been working in partnership with Havering Council to carry out these works.

Our experienced team have improved and repaired over 35 miles of roads and 25 miles of pavements since the campaign was announced.

Councillor Osman Dervish, Havering’s Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “Residents told us they were concerned about the quality of roads and pavements. We listened and the investment has seen a huge improvement across the borough. There is still work to do but the programme is continuing to provide residents with better roads and pavements. With the easing of lockdown restrictions continuing and there are more people out in the borough making journeys. We hope that everyone enjoys the improvements they see on our roads and pavements.”

The improvement works were allowed to continue under government guidelines throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to ensure frontline NHS and other key workers could get around the borough safely.

Roger Cricks, Contract Director at Marlborough Highways, said: “We’re delighted with the improvements made within Havering so far. Marlborough has a great relationship with Havering Council. We work in partnership with them on their Highways Investment programme providing both road resurfacing works and pavement maintenance schemes. We’ve dedicated a lot of resources to ensure we can meet the ongoing demands of Havering Council for the benefit of residents.”

“One of the things I value most is their very collaborative and transparent team culture. It makes a big difference to have a contractor that wants to work closely with us and is supportive and responsive. With Marlborough, I get a team who are attentive, work collaboratively and honestly with me and don’t lose focus on delivering first class communications and compliance.”
Carly Norris, Project Manager Operations, Hackney Council
“From the design stage, Marlborough has been fundamental in delivering the Broad Lane Square improvements scheme. During the works, not only did the team manage to keep to the programme, but they went the extra mile to ensure attention to detail and came up with innovative solutions to address issues encountered on site. My thanks on behalf of Haringey goes out to Marlborough for their dedication to deliver.”
Dana Rasheed, Project Manager, Haringey Council
“Working alongside our Term Service Contractor Marlborough Highways, we successfully completed renovations to the Crowstone Footbridge. The designs were provided by Marlborough, and the work was unique. The scheme was completed to budget and ahead of its programme duration.”
Neil Handley, Senior Engineer, Southend-on-Sea City Council
“I would like to thank you and your team for your efforts, the Marlborough crews were professional, courteous, and hard working all day and ensured the event went without a hitch. You and the team were a credit to the company, demonstrating commitment and support to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.”
Nick Davies, Specialist Services Manager, Barking and Dagenham Council
“I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been to work with Marlborough Highways over the last six months. The quality of work is superb, and there has been some excellent collaboration between Milestone and Marlborough to complete, what at times, has been quite a challenging scheme. I hope to work with Marlborough on another project in the near future.”
Colin Hill, Schemes Manager, Milestone Infrastructure
“Marlborough worked with us in constructing a 1.3km cycle track. There were a number of technical difficulties to overcome, and their gifted foreman worked to propose some innovative solutions to the challenges we faced. The result is a facility that the locals are proud of, providing walkers and cyclists with alternative access to the hospital and nearby school. The scheme was a lot of hard work, but well worth it.”
Rob Venables, NEC Project Manager, Essex County Council
“Marlborough attracts people who take care and have pride in their work. Several gangs of Operatives worked tirelessly for six months to reconstruct drainage networks, lay more than 3km of high quality bespoke granite kerbs and granite channels blocks to ensure positive drainage. The technical compliance, attention to detail and level of quality finish along the entire carriageway was exceptional”.
Mark Chiverrell, Technical Director, Project Centre
“We saw huge benefits in appointing Marlborough as our full service contractor and we’re impressed – they’ve delivered consistent high quality service and superior quality control across every project. Marlborough, provide us with a ‘one-stop’ shop solution – we get the same quality of service and better control across all aspects of the project.”
Darren Bryant, Principal Engineer, Enfield Council
