4 July 2018 – Highways maintenance briefing document from Oxfordshire County Council

Attached is a briefing document, which is intended to explain the County Council?s approach to road maintenance, with some facts and figures to show progress as well as the scale of the challenge.

Hopefully the briefing answers some of the question you and residents may have, as we know this is a live issue in many areas.

Please feel free to circulate it. The County Council would welcome feedback on the content so we can improve the format when we they provide an update in the autumn.
