Scope
Description
Westmorland and Furness Council is responsible for the strategic local services within the Council boundaries. The highways team within the Council is responsible for a highway's asset comprising over 4,343km of road:
• 507 km of A Class Roads (Primary Route Network);
• 1,606 km of B and C Class Roads (Non- Primary Route Network);
• 2,230 km of Unclassified roads
• 2,469 km of footways etc.
• The Council also maintains the following list of structures:
• 1075 council owned highway bridges
• 56 council owned highway footbridges
• 521 council owned and unknown ownership highway retaining walls.
• 384 council owned highway culverts
• 178 council owned highway culverts
In house operational teams carry out a variety of maintenance works across the county. Maintaining the safety of the public and the Council's staff is a key consideration in delivering these works. Often these works require only very basic temporary traffic management measures which are carried out by the in-house teams. However more substantial works or works on busier streets require temporary traffic management works that are beyond their expertise and qualifications and require equipment not held by the in-house teams. For these schemes external specialist contractors are required to carry out the required temporary traffic management.
