Highway Asset Maintenance

Tonight's Executive has an interesting report about highway asset management.  The suggestion is that Brent's asset maintenance should gradually move towards a more preventative approach.  At present, the Council repairs on the basis of "worst first".  The idea of the new strategy would be to move more sealing the roads against water on the top to prevent water damage to the undersurface.  This has the effect of stretching the Council's budget over a much larger stretch of road than fully stripping and repairing the road.
