Lambros' long-running position as Halton Council's highways contractor has been extended into a third decade. 

The Widnes-based surfacing outfit's latest contract win will see it work at the council until 2029 at least, in a deal valued at nearly £10m.

The contractor has been working with Halton Council since 2007 and beat bids from Dowhigh, J McCann & Co, NMS Civil Engineering, Huyton Asphalt and PP O'Connor to clinch the work, which is valued at £8m or £9.6m including VAT.

Work covered by the contract includes kerbing and footway, carriageway realignment, reconstruction, planing and surfacing works, junction improvements, traffic signal junctions and controlled crossings, installing bus stops, street furniture, traffic calming and drainage.

The new contract for Lambros, which was founded in 1988 by Philip Lamkin, will run from 6 August 2026 to 5 August 2029 with the possibility of extensions up to August 2030.
