Details

  1. The purpose of the Technical Note is to provide Elected Members with a final update on the 2024/25 Roads & Neighbourhood Services Carriageway and Footway Resurfacing Programme, following the completion of fourth quarter of the financial year.
  2. The Technical Note highlights the work programmes associated with internal and external resources used during the year, as well as providing information on when the work was
  3. In addition, the tables also highlight which locations tested positive for the presence of coal tar as this work was undertaken solely by external contractors, as the spoil created is considered a specialised waste and needs to be removed from
  4. All works were logged via the Scottish Road Works Register (SRWR), so that the road space was booked with no conflicting works at the location or on the diversion routes (if required). If a location is marked TBC the booking has yet to be completed and will be arranged during the coming financial year. Dates are subject to change as emergency works may be prioritised.
  5. The overall programme was subject to change and evolved during the year, as the Service must react to circumstances g., utility emergency work may require the Service to postpone or alter timescales to accommodate statutory service providers who may take priority in emergencies.
  6. It should be noted that the programme and sequence of some locations may have been altered from the previously issued Technical Note.This has been due to other works on the network impacting either directly on the planned location or the nominated diversion route. The team have attempted to substitute the locations and re-sequence the programme to ensure that the locations were caught later in the year. Any locations not completed will be carried forward into subsequent programmes.
  7. Cold Tar Testing is a requirement for planned resurfacing works that will also affect future programmes. Testing is ongoing and will shape which locations are progressed and by whom. Locations that test positive for Coal Tar will be undertaken by external resources due to the specialist nature of the waste materials created.
  8. The undernoted table shows the 2024/25 Roads Carriageway Resurfacing Programme and the work which will be completed by internal resources working on non-coal tar locations as part of core capital works.
