“Everybody is a pedestrian” Trudy
13 Feb 2019
At County Hall, Trudy has obliged KCC to publish the Pavement repair backlog separately. This has revealed our pavements are in an even worse condition than our roads, and a special fund for pavement repairs has been set up.
During 2018, a KCC report showed levels of actual spending compared to what was needed to simply maintain the state of roads and footways as they are now.
Roads spending is £13 m when £45 m pa is needed.
Footways (Pavements) spending is £1 million p.a. when £4.8 million is needed, Road markings, studs, lines and signs spending is £27.6 million when £77.3 million is needed.
