Highway safety inspection policy

We have a statutory duty under the Highways Act 1980 to maintain that part of the highway network which is maintainable at public expense.  To assist us to achieve this statutory duty the Highway Safety Inspection Policy was established in respect of vehicular highways.  Changes to national guidance towards taking a risk based approach has prompted a review and the production of our current policy. 

The Highway Safety Inspection Policy was approved by the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport on 12 April 2018.
