Maintenance of Road Verges - Find a freedom of information request

Request

1. How many miles of road verges do you manage; and how is this split between urban and rural verges?

2. How much money have you budgeted towards the maintenance of road verges in 2021? Again, how is this split between urban and rural verges?

Decision

1.

  • Rural flail – 10,676 miles x 3 cuts
  • Urban flail – 2100 miles x 3 cuts
  • Total – 38,328 miles

2. The proposed budget for 2021/2022 for grass cutting is £1,196,972. This has not been formally approved yet but should not change significantly. The figure is not split into rural and urban as all areas are safety cuts.
