A plan to spend an additional £2million on improving roads and pavements in Brent has been agreed at the Council's cabinet meeting.
The money will be used on the upkeep of roads and pavements around the borough and will be on top of the existing £3.5million annual budget.
The report also sets out ways of moving to a more evidence based approach to how the council plans improvements to Brent's pavements and roads.
The £2million cash boost will allow the council to extend the life of roads and pavements and reduce the need for multiple return visits to reduce trip hazards and potentially damaging potholes.
As part of the plan, paving slabs in some areas will be replaced with tarmac when doing full pavement renewals, which the council hopes will make pavements more resilient.
Councillor Eleanor Southwood, Brent Council's Cabinet member for the environment, said: "The state of the roads around the country is a really hot topic and, although we do perform well on a London-wide level, residents have told us that they want to see the council doing more.
"Bringing all of our roads and pavements up to scratch would cost £100m. Improving our processes and using more cost effective materials will make sure that the funding we do have is used as efficiently as possible.
"With this extra investment and better ways of working, I hope we'll see a borough which is more accessible with far fewer potholes and pavement trips."
