Planned maintenance

To decide which roads we repair we look at:

• Regular inspections - from weekly to annually, depending on how busy the road or pavement is and how important it is locally and economically.
• Annual surveys using specialist equipment - a mixture of mechanical and visual surveys which provide detailed information about the condition of roads and pavements.
• Reports from councillors, parish councils and community groups - we work closely with parish and district councils to listen to their thoughts on what is important locally.
• Reports from residents - anyone can report a problem on the road.

From these inspections and reports we prioritise the sections of highway that need to be renewed and areas that are suitable for preservation. Preservation extends the life of the road or pavement and prevent costly repairs in the future.
