Road maintenance – Craddock Cross to Northcott Cross Road

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act relating to a road your
authority is responsible for maintaining.
Specifically, my query relates to Craddock Cross to Northcott Cross Road, Craddock

Please can you send me:
1) A copy of your current road maintenance policy relating to that road. Please send me the full
policy, but this should include details of the intended frequency of road safety inspections,
how these inspections should be conducted and the maximum time between identification
of a defect and repairs being carried out.

2) A copy of the road repair history for that road over the past year. Again, please send me the
full road repair history, but this should include:

Inspections

We can further confirm that the road in question is inspected on a 6 monthly basis and there was no inspection between 14-10-2018 and 14-12-2018.

Carriageway inspections are driven at a slow speed with the inspector as a passenger in the vehicle to inspect the highway.
