We carry out regular safety inspections on all roads and footways to identify defects such as:
- potholes in the road of 50mm (2in) deep or greater;
- loose cat's eyes and road studs;
- loose kerbs and flagstones;
- footway trips of 25mm (1in) or greater (e.g. raised flag stones); and
- broken ironwork (e.g. manhole covers, gullies.)
The staff of your Area Highways Team would be pleased to hear of any faults as this helps them to solve problems more quickly and may prevent a minor problem developing into a more serious safety issue. These types of defects will usually be repaired, or made safe, within 24 hours of the inspection being carried out. |
