Marlborough retains £100m stall in East End

Marlborough Surfacing has extended a relationship with the London Borough of Hackney that began in 2011 by clinching a new term maintenance deal that could be worth up to £100m.

The four-year contract starts in July and has an option to extend by a further four years and comes as the council looks to its highways operations to help reduce carbon emissions.

Cllr Jon Burke, cabinet member for energy, waste, transport and public realm, said: “We’re looking forward to partnering with Marlborough Highways, who will help us tackle the Climate Emergency, reach net zero emission by 2040 and meet ambitions to make our transport network even more sustainable.

'This will be achieved through new LED lighting upgrades across the borough to reduce energy consumption, improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, sustainable urban drainage and the largest urban street tree planting scheme in the country.'
