More than 13 miles of footpaths have been resurfaced so far this year as part of the County Council鈥檚 Footway Reconstruction Programme.
A total of 80 schemes have been completed during this year鈥檚 programme, alongside more than nine miles of works to cut back overgrowth and reinstate footpaths to ensure improved access for all users.
Jon Fraser, from 大秀视频 County Council Highways Team, said: 鈥淥ur teams work year round, to ensure that we鈥檙e keeping paths across the county in the best condition possible. This is hugely important work, as we want to provide good conditions for people to walk, cycle and wheel in our city and town centres, as well as in rural locations.鈥
County Council Highways Inspectors monitor the condition of paths, as they do with roads, to highlight any works required. Paths are also regularly surveyed by the Asset Data Team, then logged and ranked by risk, usage, condition, and road classification.
Other factors are also considered, such as the proximity to schools, public transport, shops, places of worship and residential homes. All of this is then taken into consideration when deciding which paths will be improved as part of the wider reconstruction programme.
If you would like to report a defect on a path near you, this can be done by using the 鈥楻eport It鈥 function on the County Council website.
