During this financial year we have set up 49 new road warden agreements, bringing the total in place to 60.

We have trained 50 representatives from 33 parish and town council’s in chapter 8 training and are now starting to receive more interest in the one-day traffic management for special event course offered by Cormac. We also introduced the Highway Safety Awareness e-learning course at the end of last year and 42 have signed up so far.

14 Parish and Town Councils have received pothole repair material to repair non-intervention potholes in their communities.

We have received 72 HMCEF applications and 15 applications were carried over from 2016/17. A total of 61 applications have been approved. The total number of approved grants is approximately £91,000.00 and will help to fund projects worth over £222,000.00.
