Roads in Eastwood, Moorgreen, Selston, Greasley and Brinsley to be improved this month

The council, working with its highways partner, Via East Midlands, has published its month-ahead schedule of planned roadworks for August.

These works are in addition to the countywide surface dressing programme with over 70 sites continuing throughout the summer.

Machine-lay patching will take place on the B600 Willey Lane through Moorgreen, Selston, Greasley and Brinsley, as well as along the B600 Moorgreen and Church Road corridor between Greasley and Moorgreen.

August will mark the start of the county's micro asphalt surfacing programme.

Micro asphalt is a preventative maintenance treatment that helps to extend the life of the highway.

The process involves a thin bitumen mix being applied to create a new layer over the existing road surface.

It is primarily used on residential roads in good structural condition and helps to prevent water ingress and reduce the formation of potholes and cracks, extending the life of the road.

Full details of the programme, along with an explainer video showing how micro surfacing works can be found at nottshighways.co.uk/micro.

The schedule, which is part of the record investment seen in the 2026-27 Highway Capital Maintenance Programme, outlines essential maintenance, resurfacing and infrastructure improvements across the district that aim to keep roads safe, reduce congestion and support long-term transport efficiency.

In addition to these works, patching teams, supported by the council’s new JCB Pothole Pro machines, will deliver patch repairs on another three roads in the area, including Main Street and Chewton Street in Eastwood.

The works planned for August come after resurfacing was completed on four roads last month, including both lanes of Plumptre Way and Raglan Street in Eastwood and the entire length of Regent Street in Kimberley.

Coun Bert Bingham (Ref), cabinet member for transport and environment at NCC, said, “We're continuing to make significant progress on improving roads across Mansfield and Ashfield, with another nine major schemes planned for August alongside a range of additional repairs and preventative maintenance works.

"Our summer surface dressing programme is well underway and this month will see work start on micro surfacing, with more than 150 roads due to be treated between now and the autumn.

"While some temporary disruption is unavoidable, these improvements will deliver lasting benefits and help to keep Nottinghamshire moving well into the future.

"I'd like to thank residents in advance for their patience and understanding while these works are carried out."

Via will also continue to run its year-round programme of preventative maintenance.
