Priority roads for building work in the next financial year

The following is a list of all the roads in the ward that City Works have advised need repairs and maintenance, and they are grouped in order of priority.  Don’t forget that the major roads like the London Road will not feature in this list as their repairs and maintenance are looked after directly by the County Council’s Highways Dept. I hope I haven’t missed any, it’s a very long list to scan for Headington road names!

These Estimates present the City Council’s proposed programme of works for carrying out in the year 2009-2010.The threshold for Assessed Maintenance schemes has been set at £6,000 by the County Council, so all complete schemes below this figure are funded from the General Maintenance estimates. The aggregate value of work within a street on the Named Schemes list will exceed £6,000 even if the value of any type of work in a street is less. The Estimates are prioritized according to need. Priorities are based on the following parameters:-

  1. Urgent work required to carry out structural repairs to eliminate an existing hazard.

  2. Medium priority structural repairs to prevent the occurrence of hazards

  3. Lower priority schemes to protect the structure from deterioration

Highways Act, 1990, Part IV, Section 42, Schedule 7 estimate Named Schemes (sorted by priority) Priorities 1,2 and 3 are collected and presented as named schemesPriority 9 is applied to works not achieving the £6,000 threshold.

One thought on “Priority roads for building work in the next financial year

  1. Christian Jones says:

    I notice that the pavement in Piper Street is currently being repaired and that Windsor Street could be next.

    Has anyone currently parked on Piper noticed any damage to their car as a result of this work?

    My car is currently parked on Windsor and I would like to know what to expect.

    Many thanks.
