Investing in our network 

Each year, we invest millions of pounds repairing roads across the borough through our annual maintenance programme. 

Roads are assessed and monitored throughout the year using a range of techniques, which informs the plan for the coming year. 

We have 3 types of treatment and resurfacing that we use: 

1. Full resurfacing is a more extensive treatment, which involves removing layers of a worn-out road surface and replacing this with new material.
2. Surface dressing adds protection to the carriageway surface, sealing it from water while also enhancing its skid resistance. This protection can extend the life of the carriageway surface by up to 10 years.
3. Slurry seal is a protective seal coat that extends the life our footways. It is a thin, tough layer of asphalt emulsion blended with finely crushed stone for traction. This is a cost-effective method to renew the pavement surface and seal minor cracks and other irregularities.

We appreciate your patience as the team work their way around the borough. As with any programme of this scale, schedules sometimes need to be switched around – significant rainfall has caused us to have to postpone some planned works and our schedule will continue to be updated throughout the programme.

Why we haven't done work in your area recently

When we put together our maintenance plan, we spend money where it’s needed most, rather than being allocated on a regional or ward by ward basis which would not give you value for money. We don’t always see problems straight away. You can report it to us, and if you included your email address in your report you will receive an update.
