Haringey Council has made a strategic decision to extend its road maintenance deal with Marlborough Highways, enhancing the contract’s value to an impressive £98 million. The existing arrangement, initially planned to end in June 2025, will now continue until June 2027 following a comprehensive review process. This decision underscores the council’s commitment to integrating operational efficiency and social value in its contractual agreements.
The extended contract covers a wide array of road infrastructure services. Marlborough is tasked with repairing and maintaining carriageways, footways, and cycleways within the north-east London borough. These tasks are supplemented by junction enhancements, traffic calming measures, and drainage alongside urban greening initiatives, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of the agreement.
Beyond road works, Marlborough Highways holds a distinct contract for street lighting within Haringey, which includes mending columns and lanterns, replacing wall lights, and updating power cables. This dual agreement with the council fosters operational synergy, ensuring a thorough and integrated service delivery. Marlborough Highways’ Managing Director, Matthew Revell, stated, “We will continue to go above and beyond, with our dedicated team remaining committed to building a safer, greener, and better-connected Haringey for everyone.”
Financially, Marlborough Highways reported a turnover of £88 million in their last fiscal year, concluding on 31 December 2022, with a pre-tax profit of £1.8 million and an average workforce of 363 employees. The company’s involvement with other London boroughs such as Hackney, Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Enfield, and Brent further cements its reputation as a key player in regional infrastructure maintenance.
The extension of the contract signifies a robust partnership aimed at enhancing Haringey’s infrastructure and public services.
