Working hard to improve the roads and footpaths across our borough.

Improvement works in High Street, Hounslow

Hounslow Highways is carrying out improvement works on High Street, Hounslow, which began on Monday 2 February 2026. We will be aiming to deliver the majority of the works in six weeks, completing the final programme in Spring 2026. This work is part of the commitment from Hounslow Council and Hounslow Highways to revitalise Hounslow High Street, making it cleaner, greener, safer and accessible for all.

A small compound on Montague Road will be set up for the works only, for which access into and out of the High Street for operatives working in the area will be via the end of Montague Road, beside Holy Trinity Church.

There will be slow-moving vehicles and plant using this route at various times of the day, so please be very careful when walking in the High Street. Small areas of work will be sectioned off to ensure inconvenience is reduced as much as possible.

Please also note that there may be changes to the end date of these works depending on weather conditions.

If you have any questions, please submit an enquiry online at FixMyStreet: https://fms.hounslowhighways.org/.

Please accept our apologies for any disruptions caused during works, which are an inevitable consequence of delivering this significant investment into the borough’s streets. However, this will be kept to a minimum to ensure there is no disruption to business and pedestrian movement.

Hounslow Highways and Hounslow Council look forward to delivering these improvement works to Hounslow High Street.

Major Maintenance Programme

The 5 years of major investment invested in Hounslow to transform the roads, footpaths and street lighting assets within the borough was completed in 2018.

Since 2018, Hounslow Highways been carrying out repairs to the footways and roads through a Major Maintenance Programme which focuses on a yearly programme of works dedicated to further improving and maintaining the borough’s highway assets.

You can see the 2025 programme here.

Whilst delivering these works, we will aim to minimise disruption to residents, businesses and commuters as much as possible, however there may be times when there may be some inconvenience.

Letter-drops will be sent to those directly affected by the works and advance warning signs will also be erected in the vicinity of the works, particularly where temporary diversions or road closures are involved.

There will be times when you may not be able to park along your road, but we’ll try and minimise this as much as possible and provide advance notice.

We work with the utility companies that provide gas, electricity, telephone and cable services to ensure we coordinate and manage the activities to cause as little disruption as possible.
