Highways Investment Programme
Improving and maintaining our roads in 2025/26
We know how important the road network is to our residents and businesses. Every year we produce a planned investment programme, which is key to maintaining quality roads. It's your feedback and our monitoring of the wear and tear on them that helps develop this. During 2025/26 we are investing millions of pounds improving and maintaining the district's roads and footpaths.
Our annual road work programme is designed to maintain and improve the vast highway network. A key part of this is looking after main and estate roads which covers over 932 miles (1500km).
This planned approach enables the Council to assess and prioritise the necessary work to prolong the life of the roads as well as respond to safety issues – delivering the best value for money for residents.
