Collection of footways condition data varies but the council currently surveys Wirral’s footways every two years as typically the deterioration of footways is slower than roads.
Wirral has only recently introduced footways condition surveys and is still perfecting the best way to use the data, to develop programmes of works. Similar to our approach to roads, we are developing our knowledge of different process, to achieve a high level of maintenance at sustainable costs.
