Council decides which roads to reseal and when. We then work with contractors to programme and deliver the works.
Why we reseal the roads
Council reseals roads to:
- waterproof and protect the road
- prevent potholes
- create a smoother surface
- reduce future repair costs
How we decide which roads to reseal
We prioritise which roads to reseal based on:
- damage
- age
- daily traffic
- the types and weight of vehicles using the road
When new conditions or information comes up, we change which roads we prioritise.
