Our team of Highways Inspectors carry out regular inspections of roads and footways for defects and hazards as well as respond to specific issues reported by members of the public.

To ensure that budgets are contained within current allocations, Highway Inspectors objectively assess the severity, nature and location of defects to determine the urgency and necessity of repairs. Defects are only repaired if they are regarded as hazardous or serious. To ensure that consistent standards are adopted throughout the borough, clearly defined categories known as ‘Intervention Levels’ are set. Details of these are set out in the attached Reactive Maintenance Policy (PDF, 56KB).
