 This term covers repairs to footways (pavements), minor carriageway repairs (eg: potholes), cleaning and minor repairs to street furniture. For example:
- cat's eyes and road studs;
- gully (grid) emptying (drains in road);
- grass cutting;
- minor footway and carriageway repairs;
- treatment of weeds;
- tree cutting;
- repairs to traffic signs;
- white lining; and
- winter maintenance (gritting).
Many of these items are described more fully in separate entries.
The staff in your local Area Highways Team are pleased to hear of any matters requiring our attention; this helps them to solve problems more quickly and may prevent a minor fault developing into a more serious safety issue.
