Residents and motorists using Mayfair will get an unexpected surprise this summer when the Council finally resurfaces the road. It has been getting worse and worse every year and the current asphalt layer has broken up leaving the bare (and very noisy) concrete blocks. Mayfair has been included in the annual plans for resurfacing roads which will be implemented in the summer.

Along with Mayfair the section of Norcot Road between the Tylers Rest and Blundells Road will also be resurfaced as will Ash Road.

As a Local councillor I have received numerous complaints about these roads and about Mayfair in particular so it will be a big relief when the resurfacing work is caried out.

That still leaves many of our roads in Tilehurst in a disgraceful state of decay, not least of which is School Road, the main road running through the village.
