Pot Holes and regular update on Worcestershire Roads

The severe winter created a significant number of potholes and other damage to our roads over the last few months.  The following provides an update on progress we are making in repairing pot holes.  In addition, it provides brief detail on how we are also completing other more major repairs to damaged road surfaces.  Pothole repair

  • We have focused our Highways resources to address the higher than normal number of pothole's that appeared over the last few months. (with over 14,000 filled since mid January 2010).
  • Meanwhile we are continuing to revise our road re-surfacing programme, to prioritise work on key areas where the winter damage has been more severe. We have increased our level of 'Surface dressing' of roads, and completing more larger scale 'Patching repairs', to provide for a more permanent solution to areas where we have been experiencing multiple potholes  We are also carefully focussing the deployment of our 2 jet-patching gangs ( which repair short stretches/patches of road surface) to similar effect.

Our Highways Inspectors and Engineers are continuing to complete general and specific inspections which are capturing any defects identified to be fixed (alongside any reports provided by the public which will be investigated and appropriate action taken).
