  • Grass verge cutting

    Grass verge cutting is carried out to ensure that vegetation does not restrict visibility for the highway user and to provide a refuge for pedestrians.

  • Winter road maintenance

    We grit 46% of our 3820 kilometre (2368 mile) highway network. All roads cannot be treated due to budget, gritting vehicle size and mobilisation time.

  • Surface dressing

    The £2 million resurfacing programme involves more than 350 sites and includes all categories of road from ‘A’ roads to residential cul-de-sacs. The programme is due to be completed by September.

  • Estate roads and road adoptions

    The majority of housing developers prefer to have the roads and footpaths serving their new housing developments adopted by the highways authority. The council is then responsible for maintaining the infrastructure in a clean and safe condition.

  • Highway maintenance schemes and plans

    Maintenance Schemes are selected for remedial work based on the maintenance priority of each site in accordance with the Highway Maintenance Code of Practice.
