Roads, highways and pavements

The Council looks after the roads and pavements in Wirral and we are responsible for keeping them in good repair.

The Council’s Highways Maintenance Partner is Colas Limited.

Colas are responsible for the delivery and operation of a wide range of highway services including footway and carriageway repairs, traffic signs, street furniture, and winter maintenance.

The work includes:

• Resurfacing and repairing roads and pavements
• Salting and gritting roads in the winter
• Looking after street lighting and lighting on signs and bollards
• Traffic regulation and traffic calming schemes
• Vehicular crossings for domestic driveways
• Pedestrian crossings

The new partnership is an example of true efficiency savings for the Council, and will result in many improvements in service delivery and the introduction of new technologies.
