Highways performance
We have completed 11,504 Safety Defects between the timeframe 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022. You may wish to see how we are doing on every six months through our balanced scorecard results and see what members of the public think about our services in our annual local resident's survey called Viewpoint. We also take part in the annual National Highways and Transport (NHT) survey which looks at public satisfaction on a national basis.
Worcestershire has one of the fastest growing local economies in the country and being “Open for Business” remains the key economic priority for the County Council. Residents, businesses, and visitors all depend upon safe and reliable journeys using an effective highways and transport network to sustain our economic growth and transportation needs. The highway network in Worcestershire (4,093 km or 2,543 miles) is the largest and most visible community asset for which the County Council is responsible.
The way in which the highway network is managed and maintained has a direct impact on the County Council's ability to deliver on its corporate priorities and other outcomes and increasingly, there is a need to manage and maintain the network to respond to environmental change, in particular to weather extremities.
