Managing our assets

Our highways assets are worth around £5.5bn. By keeping them in good condition we're helping to keep the public safe and reduce our maintenance costs.

We have thousands of highways assets ranging from street name plates to Grade II listed bridges and dual carriageways. Keeping all these assets in good condition is important for public safety but also to help reduce our ongoing maintenance costs.

All issues with a highway asset reported to us are reviewed and inspected by our qualified highways inspectors. They will make a decision on whether something needs to be repaired or replaced using the Codes of Practice. This set of national guidelines set by the Department for Transport, means that we can prioritise which works need to be done to keep the network safe for all users within our budget. We can't fix everything reported to us so we prioritise any issues that are safety-critical.

Annual Programmes

Each year we use our budget to carry out works on the highway, these works are grouped into programmes for efficiency. 

Our 2025-2026 programmes are listed below. We also do 'Core Activities' which includes routine maintenance such as routine gully cleaning or pothole repairs. More programmes will be added once the details are finalised.

*Please note, this list is subject to change but any new or removed projects will be updated on the attached lists.
