A four-week programme of works begins next week to revamp Croydon town centre’s main pedestrianised street.
This will see broken pavements fixed and repairs made to drains and gullies to prevent flooding.
EM Highways has been appointed to carry out the works in North End, which start on Monday (January 26).
To minimise disruption to shoppers some of the work will be done in the evening.
The improvements are part of Connected Croydon, a £50m project to transform the town centre.
Cabinet member for economic development Councillor Toni Letts said: "Our high streets are extremely important to the prosperity of the borough and that is why we’re improving them.
"De-cluttering, cleaning and updating North End will help boost business by making the area look and feel more attractive and a safer place to shop and visit.
"The programmed work is taking place during evenings so as not to impact on business and we are confident that any disruption will be kept to a minimum."
