Maintenance programme structural surveys
We inspect every adopted highway on a regular basis. Any area of road or pavement that the inspector thinks may become an imminent danger to road users or pedestrians is noted and a repair arranged.
If during this inspection any streets are judged to need more extensive treatment, they are listed and their condition is visually assessed at a later date.
Each year we carry out a visual survey of the condition of all principal and other classified roads, some of the busiest unclassified roads and those unclassified roads that need more than just minor repairs. This provides us with the information needed to draw up our annual structural maintenance programme.
We have a responsibility to keep the roads and footpaths safe for use.
