Highway asset management
What is our asset management plan?
Our asset management plan sets out how we look after Staffordshire’s roads. It helps us make the best use of funding by focusing on road condition, local priorities and value for money.
We use data like road condition, deterioration rates, treatment options and costs to plan maintenance work. This helps us decide which roads to treat and when.
Sometimes roads may be treated earlier than expected, but this approach helps us get the most benefit from the budget available.
What does our highway network consist of?
- Over 6,200km of roads
- Over 4,500km of footways and cycleways
- 200km of retaining walls
- 50km of safety fencing
- 1,200 bridges and culverts
- 180,000+ highway gullies
- 2.5million square metres of grass verges
