Footway Improvement Programme

We appreciate the importance of well maintained footways to make it easier and safer to walk, wheel and cycle. Each year we produce an annual programme of footway improvements.

All footway maintenance work scheduled to be carried out by West Berkshire Council is listed in our  Footway Improvement Programme [49KB] . 

Roadworks that are not listed in our programme are most likely being carried out by another organisation, such as a utility company. You can check all current (and some future) roadworks using the interactive roadworks map. The map includes contact details for the companies carrying out the work.

You can read more about the different treatment types featured in the programme here.
 

How we choose sites

Our asset management team carry out Footway Network Surveys annually to assess the condition of footways across West Berkshire.

The data from these surveys is combined with other known information, such as the amount of reactive maintenance that has taken place. The team will then use this information to help identify the areas that need work.

See our  Highway Asset Management Plan [1004KB]  for more information.
