Brent Council pays out nearly £600,000 in pothole and pavement injury claims

In 2022/23, Brent Council spent £5.5m to maintain the carriageways, highway structures and footways – which included 5.7 miles of footways being reconstructed. The latest £11m Footway Maintenance Programme for 2023-26 assigns repairs using two elements; councillors can choose one road within their ward for repairs, up to the nominal value of £150,000, on top of prioritising repairs based on ‘asset management principles’.
